Using DRL LED at 100% Power

Has anyone tried to figure this out yet?

I converted my halogen headlights to HID. I also changed the parking light to LED as well. The problem is, they don't match so well with the DRL LED below.

Can the DRL LED run at 100% power like it does during the day, when headlights are off? Or can I purchase a new LED DRL that runs at 5000k or 6000k?

Just want it all to match...

Thanks!

question is, can you keep headlights off at night ? As far as i know there is no way to disable them at night.

I think turning the knob all the way to the left where it says P could turn the headlights off but that doesn't sound a good idea to turn the head lights off when in dark

its not i agree. but it doesnt change the fact that there is no way to turn them off in the dark, even if i want too.
