I am just saying if it could complicate things is all, I don't HAVE to HAVE an LED bulb.

Interested in the DRL canceller with capacitor you mentioned(R4 setup). The only thing that I'm thinking over is that the symptoms they stated to use the R4 are flickering for DRL and LED's are at full power when switching to high beam. I don't think this is the case for everyone else, the high beams do not function at all but I could be wrong since I've never tried it myself. So if you get an answer from them and/or test them out I'll definitely be going that route too.

When i did it the Highs are lost. The DRLs look nice. You can use Carista to turn off DRL. I don't think you can find a regular bulb that won't have a yellowish tint.

You can also turn off the DRL's in the cars settings. At least on my 2010.

jdanielca - Any update on this? For now I am running LED high beams and have the DRLs turned off through Carista. The high beams look great and match my low beams now (6000K), but I wouldn't mind turning the DRLs on if they can light up white as well versus the dim stock yellow. The first pic has the LED high beam on the left and the stock high beam on right for comparison and the second pic has both LED high beams. I have the front bumper cover off to replace some retainer clips so I decided to replace the parking lights and fog lights with LED as well why it is off as access is much easier.
