Default 01 GS300 DRL = 50% high beam or parking light?

i got confused...
is the DRL on 01 GS300 using high beam bulb at 50% or the parking light bulb in the high beam housing

also does DRL turn off at night when light mode is on AUTO?

yes... DRLs run the highbeam bulbs at approx 50%

yes, they turn off when the low beam headlights are on

no, they are not the parking light bulbs lighting up as a DRL

ah ok the ones that are on when the low beams are on are the smaller bulbs that are below high beam bulbs but in the same housing right?
the so called parking lights?

all i care about is the consistency of having white lights in the inners when my factory HIDs are on
i dont really care about having yellow inners when HIDs are off

so do ppl usually use polarg M4 or M6?
pros and cons of the 2?

I used a 9 LED white light for each of the 1094's or whatever # those bulbs are called.
