Hey just curious why you would do LED DRLs and lose the high beam function versus just using a white halogen like this:
http://www.racinglab.com/piaa-hb-10925.html
color temp is still yellow compared to 6000k but it's much better than stock, still a white color (stock xenon HIDs are 4300k whereas these are 4100k, pretty close), and since DRLs aren't on at the same time as the lows, there wouldn't be any mismatch... also it seems there is more than one complaint that the v-led drl bulbs vary in brightness... avoid all that plus you preserve your high beams when needed.

i've seen people w/ halogen bulbs in their DRLs that where completely blue(i mean the bulb is blue, when the bulb is off the whole reflector housing looks blue from the reflection), and they still look yellow in DRL mode. but when you turn the hi beams on the color is fine. i live in the city and i never do any mountain, rural driving so i could care less about hi beams

Oracle, aka AAC is being lame and they take forever to deal w/ and process your order. they have been known to have fitament issues, nothing that some shaving can't fix. but i think they fixed it because my last set i got from them fit perfectly fine. i went ACC because of the blue LED color they offer, where V-LED where i usually go to get all my leds(interior, puddles etc.) only offers a real bright white LED. i think those are the only 2 real choices, i'm sure you could go with some ebay ones also if you wanted
Also for the DRL modules, don't get Oracle, AAC's fix, the module is too big and won't fit inside the cover, go with V-LED's drl module fix

I've found my high beams useful for back country roads/mountain driving. I wouldn't say I required it at the time, but the high beams definitely project the light further than your HIDs.
I was unaware that the LED change on the DRLs causes a loss of high beam function.....weak. Guess I'll scratch that mod off my list.

I've been running these for a long time now (year and half) and I am very satified.
