Question Brighter DRL Bulbs

Where can I get some brighter DRL bulbs??? I just wanted something with more of a clearer white rather than the dull yellowish color they emmit.
Anyone?

there's the silverstars but i think they only have them in amber.
or you can get the blue ricer bulbs that show hyper white like.

I haven't looked for a couple years now but back then I couldn't find anything. The 3157's I tried all burned out quickly and the ones that were the right amps for this application were not available in a brighter light. Still not?

I've been running the amber 3157NA's They are a longer lasting bulb, I think they also have a sub number of 4157NA on the same package. I have been running them in both my trucks for the DRL for quite some time now and they are a lot brighter than stock and the amber looks meaner to me. IMO.

I like the amber when lit but when the truck is parked I don't want the yellow bulb... I want all clear bulbs when parked. So, I need an LED light that will work in the DRL and I've not been able to find that either
