Default Stock day time running lights question

I would like to change the yellow daytime running light to a white light bulb. Has anyone done this, if so what number bulb did you use? Thank you for any help!

Front running/turn signal bulb is 3157.

I’m using a white/amber switchback LED.

As ttx350z mentioned above, I am also using a switchback LED set up for a few years now. White daytime running light that turns amber when directionals are used. The switchback makes it legal in my state. Do not know if it's a federal thing that directionals turn amber but if you go with LED's you must ad load resistors if they are not built in for the bulbs. If no resistors are used you will get a fast flash.

Here is everything you need to convert to switch back led drls. He is a forum member. This is what I used on my C6 and they work great and easy install too.

Get with Jhonathan at JW Motorsports and he has an LED switchback that is both solid white AND blinking white if you don't like ambers like me. My current set can even be shut off for no DRL.
