Yes, the high beams turn on half power when the car is turned on and when you turn on the LED strips. However, they go away when the low beams turn on.

Yep. You have old school DRLs with the LEDs. Looks pretty tacky lol.

That's not true, and even if it was, you still have the LED DRL strip.

The LED strips in sewell kit don't function as DRLs. They are manually turned on just like the parking lights.

its all on how you wire them, if you tap the green wire into your acc fuse, they turn on with the car, like oem... my leds are always one, i don't have to ever turn them on... they look better like that... im not a fan of having to turn the leds on, it makes me feel like a ricer...

Correct, but the sewell kit is sold as plug n play and it works fine the way it is wired. Now, rewiring and tapping to ACC fuse is a personal choice! There is whole thread about that.

No, my car doesnt have sensors, or not much of options in it... hence why I'm upgrading stuff on it
