Default 9005 led DRL

Hey all.. I just changed over to all led lights on my 2gs. Everything works great, went smooth, and haven't needed any canbus filters. EXCEPT.. my daytime running lamps are no longer working. It's my understanding the high beams are to run on low during the day, then switch off for night time low beam, and flip to high beam as needed. I've done all the polarity flipping and even tried a filter but nothing is working. Any ideas?

the daytime running light/high beam bulb is pulse width modulated. meaning its kinda of like a dimmer that controls the bulbs. you need led's that can operate off of pulse width modulation.
