DRL or high beam or both?

so... where is the DRL? lol there are only 2 bulbs in the headlight. low beam and... i'm assuming high beam. or does the high beam double as the DRL? if so, doe the DRL just switch off when you turn on the low beams? thanks!

update: sota figured it out. its the same bulb. i'm guessing there's a relay or something that prevents it from running at full power when in DRL mode?

Your High beams are the DRL just at lower power... Yes, they switch off when you turn on your low beams.

Does anyone know if it's possible to make the DRLs stay on the with the headlights at DRL power, not highbeam power?
