Default Replacing the DRL

I'm wanting to replace my yellowish DRL bulbs on my 05 A6 with something not so yellow. I know that the LEDs cause error codes, are there any bulbs I can shove in there without changing the housing to give it a more white or bluish look?

Hello, I'd like to do a LED DRL replacement on my 08 A6, but looking inside the engine compartment it's too tight for my big ugly hands.. do you have a DIY procedure that we can follow so I would not damage any other parts? -thanks!

It's pretty easy. Drier side remove break fluid reservoir by lossin the ring around it an you can replace the bulb (I did) Passanger side just remove air box.

I have 2005 A6, will those be ok also for my car?

P.S. Maybe you can put some pictures to see how good they look on your car?

Will appreciate this

Here is an example of my halagen ultra white bulbs installed; no errors.
I also have a set of 1156 (drl bulbd) LED Bulbs and a set of 50watt 6ohm resistors if you are interested for $10+SH. (Check my other thread).
I chose halogen over LED because of the color output. Halogen ones math the factory HIDs way more.

Bought on eBay from US seller
I bought 3 sets of these. Replaced DRLs and the Revervise light. Still got a set left.
