I think you would have to have the dealer change the c-best settings. Or I think the other way around it is if you put a hid kit in the high beams (other motorists won't like you). The daytime lights work by sending half power to the high beams. So I think it won't be enough power to start the hids up.

Nice! If your is is modded then put the is factory wheels on your gs, they are the same wheels, the is wheels just have a nicer finish (brushed)
