    I’ll try but I’m not really feeling like unplugging the DRL (not the high beams) on the hi lens. The DRL is pretty damn bright. Here’s a photo tho during the day without a DRL on the hi lens

    or checkout my page on Instagram of how the hi lens were put on I think it’s retrofit #2

    or check my friends page on how to do it it’s on his story highlights @branchanyota

    Misunderstood, this is what I was asking for

    Maybe I’m misunderstanding when you say unplug drl? I assumed those high beams were either on or off and you added a halo to them to function as drl.

    I didn’t see any close ups of the guts on your page though. I’m digging the dual Halos a lot

    Never mind I seen the highlights. That’s cool shushing a bts view of the retro. Don’t personally care for the style high beam lights used with the multiple orbs but that dual halo is bad, I’ll have to look into another option for the highs

    Sorry, I know what you mean. So there is a hi lens and a halo on top of the hi lens projector (in the high beams spot in the headlight)

    the hi lens has a DRL function and then if I turn my high beams on it turns like 100X brighter. What you’re seeing when those are lit up in the second halo is the DRL function. I kinda like it but kinda not because it takes away from the halo itself.
    To turn the function off I have to unplug it from my fuel injectors which I can do for you tomorrow or something! Let me try to find more photos I have without the DRL on! Sorry hopefully this helps! It looks good tho and was very easy
