They are the same as the turn signals and they are always amber, whether being used as turn signals or DRLs.

It is amber and is the same as the turn signal. I know because mine burnt out at 300 miles and I still can't get the part..

Because it didn't go out all at the same time the DRL went first then the blinkers went out and this is on the drivers side. Where is the loose connection?
