Gen6 Upgrading High Beam / DRL bulbs

I'm just wondering how it works, but I'm interested in purchasing 9005 PIAA bulbs for my 2010 Camry SE to run as mainly DRL. Will this work the same as the stock OEM ones? I don't need them to work at night, as I just simply don't like the yellow stock DRL.

I just want to confirm that in DRL mode, it will be dim white, whereas it will be bright white in High Beam mode.

The item is

Thanks!

Whiter than OEM, but still yellowish at reduced voltage.

You could probably get some fairly white DRL look, as long as you're OK with bright blue looking HIghbeams or something.
