The DRL's on the F55/56 are the horseshoes around the top. They're an inegral part of the headlight housing, and while I'm sure someone might offer them in the future, my guess is it's going to be $$$$$'s

It looks like they are pretty common.

I was looking around yesterday, they make similar bulbs in yellow but they tend to be less bright, but last longer.

I'm not 100% sure the base is compatible on that one. There was another version with a different base. I don't know how to tell if they are actually compatible, but they seem like they would work.

Philips part numbers

PSX24W 12276NAC1 base PG20/7
PY24W 12190NAC1 base PG20/4

http://www.support.philips.com/suppo...t=UTF-8&page=8

What are the differences in the bases?
