Default Drl v-leds

I was planning on grabbing a DRL from VLEDs. I'm not sure what kinds I should get but I guess from the links below theres 2

or

Is there any other DRL that you guys would recommend me besides V-LEDS? Also when I install the DRL with these LEDs, would it effect my hi-beam at all? Like once I get it installed will my hi-beam work with the new LEDs?

You will lose your high beam. When you flip on your high beams, the LED's will be turned on.

The only difference between the 2 is 1 is brighter and $10 more. You will also need 2 modules so it doesn't flicker.

Also Silkky, the link given said

*Not for use with our 13W 28 LED or 7.5W High Power bulbs or standard filament bulbs. Warranty is void unless you use a relay harness.

The first one is brighter but requires a relay harness (which goes to the battery). You will need the DRL modules for both in order to have them run at full brightness (otherwise they flicker).

iJDMToy sells some as well. LED DRLs replace your 9005 high beams. They will come on when your high beams would normally come on, but they emit very little light on the road (so you basically lose your dedicated high beam functionality). Another consideration is that if you have OEM HIDs, your low beams are still bi-xenon.
