Questions about Halogen DRL

I plan to use the MTEC H7 Super White 4350k bulbs to replace my factory ones.
If I want my DRL to be white and not yellow, do I need to replace the high beam or the low beam? How can I distinguish the two when I replace them? Do I need to replace both of high beams and low beams with two pairs of H7s?
I'm just super confused about the different bulbs in headlights and the names for them. lol

its the same bulb, H7 for low beam and H7 for high beam on E90 LCI's with halogen headlights, so yes, two pairs.

I need two pairs even if I want just my DRLs to look white?

Alright, so with that one pair, do I replace the two bulbs towards the grilles or away from the grilles?
