Fog light as daytime running light? and to replace.

Hi everyone, just new to this forum, I just want to confirm that for my 2004 TL, there is no switch for Fog lights right, because I noticed that my DRL is also my fog light, and there are only switch in the controller - the headlight and the low beam I guess, not so familiar with the lights of this one (just traded 1 month ago), for a very good deal though.

Also would like to ask if I can change the color of my fog light (which is basically my daytime running light), from yellow to bright white?
My high beam may be called (HID) color is a brighter white, I wanted to change my Fog Light/DRL to brighter white too, would that be possible?
Could you tell me the link on Amazon to buy this LED bulb?

I mistakenly got one from Canadian Tire, and thought it was a White one, but when replaced it's still yellow, so sad can't even return or replace the product, I am confused about which one to buy that could replace this with white light color.


Thank you...(insert photo is my 2004, where my Fog Light/DRL is turned on).
Thanks, guys...appreciate your reply.

Canadian TL did not get fog lights in 2004-06. We only have DRLs and then the low/high beam HID bulb.

They're halogen bulbs and it's tough to find a pure white in halogen as most seem to have a little bit of yellow in them.

I would also focus on getting your headlights polished. They look pretty foggy.

The purpose of DRL's is just so you can be easier to spot in daylight. Color is personal choice, but the whiter the light, the more glaring it can be for some oncoming drivers. Keep what you have.
