Best would be to not have DRL's sharing a bulb with the turn signals at
all, but you knew that already.

Personally I'd say use the amber bulbs just because it's been so long
since white turn signals were common that people will take longer to
recognize them as such.

I am well aware I replied to two different people in my previous post,
however so is everyone else following this thread. Daniel's the one who
deleted y_p_w's attribute, so he would definitely know this.

Yes, but when people see a flashing white light they realize it's a turn
signal. One more advantage with white DRLs is that if one bulb breaks it
doesn't look like you're driving around with you turn signal on 24/7.

Actually - when I see a flashing white light, I usually realize it's
a busted lens and a possible fixit ticket.
