That will be hard to say... with the DRL's, a lower wattage is applied across the bulb, causing a dimmer light...

Since noone has tried it with a yellow bulb, noone will quite know what it will look like. (i.e., with a "white" bulb, once you lower the wattage, the light output looks amber)...

So... will it look yellow? will it look stock amber? One way to find out...

But, you'd also lose the effectiveness of the highbeam, no?

Thank you for the opinion.
If I go with my first option, will the wires get damage since i have two stock lightbulbs and one Nokya??

choice 3.
where many hate, few will love,
But for those who love,
they'll see what it's like to live.

For about the past 1.5 years I've been using NOKYA Arctic White highbeam, NOKYA Arctic White lowbeam, and HOEN "All-weather" (yellow) fogs, which is similar to your choice #5. I like this combo just fine.
