Are you asking what the car uses or what the site has?
The site has H11 and HB4; not sure what the TL uses for DRLs.. only one way to find out!...

Even if you change the bulbs it won't change the color, because the voltage of the DRL are very low, so it'll give that yellowish glow. It's been tried by others with other bulbs. The best thing to do to change the color of the bulb is to tint the headlamp housing.

Drl's
I have super white 35w 9005's i got from the local store here and they work fine
i also replaced my fogs which are h11's with yellow polarg 35w bulbs.
35 watt hid kits do not work for the drl's they flicker
I have not used the LED DRL replacements
heres the link
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/2pcs-...spagenameZWDVW
they are only one watt im not sure if the DRL light would come on
I personally would not put anything thats not exactly 35w in a oem application that requires 35w.
Especially on a 2007 vehicle.

Swapping halogen bulbs may not make a difference; but swapping in an LED cluster bulb will.

^ a few extra bones would be like.. $800+
And what the heck would be the point of having Bi-Xenons and then DRL Xenons?
For those who flat out hate the DRLs just turn on your headlights. They go off automatically.

So you put the super white 35w 9005's in for the DRL's? And they are white? Cant wait to see the yellow fogs. I think they would look sweet on my NBP Type-S.

the point of drls is so that other cars see you not so you see other cars
HID drls would blind anyone coming at them and they will not work with the stock wiring and a HID conversion kit. 35w 12v is not enough
you need at least 55w to run HIDs because they change your voltage to 24v and 35w
heres a cell phone pic of my fogs i took on break. i forgot to take the pics of the white drls sorry i dont know how i forgot
