Is it ok to replace the stock 9005 DRL/highbeam combo bulb to Yellow?

This is for an 8th gen Si.

I'm finding answers that it's legal in Ontario according to the highway traffic act saying it can be white or 'amber' light.

But what will the yellow bulb output look like when high beams are on? Too yellow and illegal??

Yea, it will be fine. Im running that setup right now. HIDs for low beam... yellow for DRL/high beam. your drls wont be too yellow and not even close to too bright. power wise, its almost the same as regular drls but theyre yellow.

My teg has yellow DRL's in them right now and they are pretty bright, but they are 100W bulbs not the normal 55W.

But like what have been said before, you are legal with them. I used to run 3000K HID's in my headlights and fog lights and never had a problem with any cops.

Your legal unless you,

Regulations as to lights on vehicles
(21) The Lieutenant Governor in Council may make regulations,
(a) prescribing the type and maximum strength of lights that shall be carried by vehicles, and regulating the location, direction, focus and use of the lights;
(b) regulating or prohibiting the use of lights on vehicles that automatically produce intermittent flashes of light;
(c) prescribing types of, or standards for, lamps coated or covered with a coloured material that may be used for the purpose of subsection (7.1);
(d) prescribing classes or types of vehicles, classes of drivers, activities, conditions and circumstances for the purpose of paragraph 5 of subsection (15.1);
(e) prescribing classes of volunteer medical responders, classes or types of vehicles, activities, conditions and circumstances for the purpose of paragraph 2 of subsection (16);
(f) governing the training, qualifications and certification of persons prescribed under clause (d) or (e) or who may drive vehicles prescribed under those clauses. R.S.O. 1990, c. H.8, s. 62 (21); 2002, c. 18, Sched. P, s. 19 (3); 2007, c. 13, s. 17 (6).

Another subsection states that you are not allowed to have either blue or red lights on the front of your vehicle, any type of strobe or flashing light, or any other type of light that can misidentify your motor vehicle with another designated type (like purple for volunteer firefighter). Also, the lights must be clearly visible from 150m away.

so basically yellow away!
