The seller reckons there's a wire which you can connect which will dim/extinguish the DRL when the headlights are on, or if you don't connect it, it runs them full brightness at all times.

Now we begin the long wait for postage...

Edit: and these work out as one of the cheapest sets on eBay as well, they come to US$195 including postage, most of the others are around US$200 without postage.
Waiting on the edge of my seat! Someone had to be the test case...

Let us know how the install goes!

If you find a link on how to remove the front bar I would be interested in that as I am looking to get the DRL's also.

If you find that they turn off or stay on when headlights are activated, there is an adaptor on ebay.co.uk that will actually "dim" the lights to replicate the OEM look. However they say they do not ship outside UK / EU.

I would love to have the OEM functionality...

Keep us up to date!!!
