Default Alternative DRL beside 2011 and up OEM DRL

Got my GX done with lighting mods. Now researching alternative custom DRL mod for my IS350 rather than spending $1000+ for 2011 and up headlights replacement since I don't plan on keeping my IS much longer. I got most of the LED's interior and exterior done. Just looking for new ideas. Post up what you got done. Thanks

VLED's came out with a new 10 LED DRL bulb :

People on the acura forums have tried it and it seems pretty good:

I have those. But since the drl runs at half power they flicker. Vleds sell a module that makes it full power and stops the flickering but it kept blowning my fuse.

I disable my yellow OEM DRL with Techstream. I would like to retain high beam function hence I will probably not go with the LED 9005 bulb from VLEDS. I was thinking about adding on a DRL unit. I am leaning toward the area next to the fogs lights ( Black triangle pieces ). I am thinking about custom adding LEDS there. Anyone seen it done yet?

I did not go with LED option because it killed the high beam functionality. I think there is an option to actually add LED strip inside our headlight similar to the 2011/2012 headlights with LEDs. Has anyone tried that?
