Hey guys just finished up this project and decided on posting the materials you need to make your DRL's white if you want to.
Notice, running LED's in your DRL/Hi-beams will grant you no light output, therefore giving you no hi-beams at night. I would only install this if you have HID's or bright enough bulbs that you feel comfortable with. I myself have Nokya Arctic white low-beams, and they get the job done.
First you will need the LED bulb. I bought this one from Classy Autos on Amazon, but there are many others as well. Make sure it is a 9005 series.

Once you install the bulb, you will get an error on i-mid. The error is caused because the LED's do not use up the 50+ watts that the stock halogens use, and the computer thinks the lights are off.
To get rid of this problem buy: http://www.ebay.com/itm/160782769899?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649
Once installed the warning goes away and all is normal.......
EXCEPT that the LEDS are too dull. This is caused because the DRL's are made to run on way less power than the hi-beams. Try having someone in the car and have them flash the hi-beams while your DRL's are on. See how much brighter that its? Wouldnt you want to have them that bright always?
Well here is the fix:http://www.v-leds.com/Daytime-Running-Lights/Modules-Harnesses/NEW-IMPROVED-9005-PLUG-p6297704.html
I installed the decoder first and then this to the bulb. Make sure you install the decoder and this intensifier as well. I made the mistake of installing just the intensifier and blew both hi-beam fuses. Remember that the intensifier has double polarity, so if your lights won't turn on simply flip the plug over and connect it again.
I hope this helps some of you, i personally love the look and can't stand the yellow bulbs.
I'm no expert but through trial and error got here, feel free to ask any questions.
This picture is in broad daylight at noon, will take another in a bit
