Use the LED strip instead of high beam for DRL?

Is there a way to use the LED strip for daytime running lights instead of the high beam?

The short answer is no. The eyebrow lights are called accent lights and are not bright enough for daytime use as DRLs. Then there is the problem of putting them onto a switch.

If you want to spend a lot of time reading about this subject, go back circa 2012 in the forum posts. I’d suggest you just enjoy the fact that your car already has DRLs. I had to pay circa $300 to add aftermarket DRLs to my ‘14 Santa Fe. They look good, though.

Appreciate the info. Thank you!

I should add that I have a ‘12 Genesis, so I know a bit about this subject.
