swap highbeam while keping drls?

so recently i have decided to get yellow nokyas for my high beams/drls so that during the day, it will be yellower. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=260618571984&crlp=1_26 3602_263622&ff4=263602_263622&viewitem&guid=771121 281290a0e20210c4c0ff67917b&rvr_id&ua=WVF%3F&itemid =260618571984#shId
going for these. so i was just wondering if i will need harnesses so the bulbs dont blow? and how would the drls work after i swap the bulbs?

x8dragon8x has it on his car, no need for harness. the bulbs wont blow especially since they are receiving low voltage. it gives the car a nice yellow look. the drls will work the same...

if you read the label it will say stock wattage draw but produces 80w output. it will be fine especially since the heat produced by drls is lower than normal high beams. i had 80w bulbs in my low beams for a few months before i got hids and my harness didnt show any signs of melting. i actually have arctic blue 80w drls right now... not a single problem yet.

artic blue or is it artic white from nokya? Is that the stage 1? im planning to buy the artic white stage 1 or the cosmic white, but i dont really know how the color output looks like. i just dont wanna see any hint of yellow on my drls. Cuz i bought a MTEC superwhite 4750k one. dang no difference i thought its white , false advertisement..
