Default LED DRL strip

On 2013 GS Is there a way to keep the intensity of the LED strip on high instead of them dulling down when the headlights go on, is there a switch to get. Or is there a way to just increase the output of the LED brow

I'm not sure you want to do that. Functionally it will be blinding to other drivers when combined with the light output of the headlights. That's why it dims in the first place.

It won’t be blinding at all just wondering if there is a bypass switch to prevent them from dimming down when headlights go on.

In that case no there is no direct bypass. To do it you'd have to modify the existing electrical but I don't enough about it to tell you what to do.
