ic, then i guess US and canada has different setup. for us canadian, the lower bulb(the one below LED bulb) is actually the DRL and high beam uses the higher bulb.

how is it the same? in the second pic you said only the DRL (LED bulb) is on and position light (lower bulb) is off. In canada, DRL is the lower bulb not the higher one.

Yes it is. Somehow when I replace my high beam H7 bulb with a LED bulb, my lower DRL does not come on unless I turn them on. So, now the LED bulb automatically comes on when I start my car. Does this make any sense to you or are you still confused.

Sweet. Can you post some pics when you get a chance? Let me know how is the light output on the ground is. I just know that the higher the kelvin, the lesser light output.
