Default Drl

So i recently bought 6 light bulbs to change out the old ones which i can barely see with. The lowbeam and fog lights work just fine. However, the drl/highbeam doesnt turn on. I tried switching back to the old pair and it works. It’s crazy and i dont understand why. Can anyone provide any information? Thanks

The high beams in DRL mode run the bulbs in series so they run at half brightness LED bulbs generally won't work in this configuration but look up

on amazon. I can't vouch for any of these never tried one.
