Just buy Halogen bulbs that match the color you want. Nokya used to be the goto for that. PIAA as well.
But do you give up the high beam or low beam? Most LEDs only need about 7v to run. I would think that the DRL low voltage output would be enough to run max output on the LED. Then when you turn on the high beams you would would see no change in brightness. My concern is the LED at max output will not be bright enough to replace a high beam. I'd love to hear from someone who has put an LED in the high beam to know what the output is like. If there is an LED with sufficient output for a high beam then I think it would be fairly easy to rewire the car to redirect DRL output to the front parking lights.
