Default LED highbeam HB3 does work as DRL?

I just purchased a set of LED highbeams HB3 and they only work when I use the highbeams. It seems as though it disabled the DRL some how and I don't know why. Does anyone know why? Thanks

Would it be that the bulbs are just defective? I'm going to contact the seller and see if there is something he could do

That's because LED's can't dim, like regular halogen lights do.

o wow I didn't know that...well i guess anyone who is looking to delete DRL can just get LED highbeams, but they won't really light up the road when you need a highbeam.

Maybe they can't run at a lower current because of the way they were constructed then?
