They were great during bright sunlight for DRL, and decent as high beam's, but when using as DRL you would have to shut them off in lower light conditions (dusk/inclement weather) as they do not have anything to lower output while operating in DRL mode.

The bit of blue/yellow you see in the reflector is from a glass lens that screws down on the top of the unit, to change the output color. Without the lens it's a 5000k/6000k "cool" white, with the lens it's a bright yellow with a slight hint of green. Personally, I really enjoyed the "angry" look the bright yellow DRL lent to the stock headlights. I would get shots of it for you if I could, but I have since switched to Winjets.
I was running theOLM HP LED DRL/High Beam Bulbs, but they were too bright for DRL's. I was hoping you'd have a simple plug and forget solution, I'm too lazy to turn off DRL's to be honest. I like having DRL's though...
