DIY Low intensity high beam ?

[JudgeM]

Hello all.

I see that many of the American cars have daytime running lamps in the form of a low intensity high beam.

I would like day running lamps for my car however there is no conveniant place to attach those LED ones on my Vitz (I dont have slotted grills). Also I dont like the look of them. I would prefer keep a more stock look.

I have factory HID lamps so what they've done is made the low beam a HID bulb and the high beam a halogen bulb.

Is there anyway I can wire up the hi beam bulb to work at a low intensity, at the same time not affecting the operation of anything else?

I also saw there are these Toyota Day Running Light modules, would these work if I plugged it in to my car ?

Cheers.

Yaris/Vitz that don't have DRLs aren't wired for them, but it would be possible (with a bit of wiring) to install one of the OEM DRL modules to drive the halogen bulb. The US DRL module actually drives the low beam, not the high beam, but it does so with a pulsed output to decrease the intensity, so there is no reason why that pulsed output could not be connected to the high beam instead.
