@Burg. Yes I could wire them that way but from my understanding unless "always on" is OEM fitted, it is not legal.

At night DRL LEDs give off an incredible amount of flair because the beams are not focused which is bad for oncoming drivers. I believe in OEM setups where the DRLs remain on, they dim the DRLs when the main beams are on. Effectively the DRLs become cosmetic. It's a similar problem when people put aftermarket HID bulbs into regular lights.

Also, I've been looking at other newer Porsches and they all have behavior I was describing so hopefully it gives me a more OEM feel :-)

@particlewave. Do you have the "ebay" projector lights with the built in DRLs? I have those too disconnected the eyebrow part. The lights don't look so corny when they are on now and the LED turn signals is enough to give the car a fresh look.
