Basically, leave the lights in auto and the high beam lever pushed away and ILS will take care of everything. I find its more aggressive with high beams than I would be.
All that is true until you drive on a back road at under 30kms/25mph....! You will have to move the light switch from auto to manual, or you will never see your high beams. High beams only work at slow speeds when switch is in manual. Bit of a PITA for those of us visiting the W/E cottage! Love the lights though....

This is especially hard to find for the 2013s. I've seen 2012s with LEDs on only during the day, without the lighting package.

Any ideas?
Yes, how do you do this?

Does somebody know if it's possible because I have ILS
I want to do the same thing.

The 2012 I have, has the LED strip lights in the bumper but they don't do the BRIGHT daytime running light mode that models with the lighting package have. How do you get them to go bright, is there a hack or jumper??
