I would think a kit that has a low enough trigger voltage on the ballast would run them, albeit at full brightness.

Good answer code 
But here's how I see it. If I have DRLs on, those people who drive around in a fog just might see ME! I agree with you - I generally have no trouble seeing other drivers, but they don't always seem to return the favor. For that reason, I actually installed DRLs on my truck.
I also put one of those LED strips under the tailgate as an additional warning to the clowns driving behind me. I've been rear-ended twice, and Janet was rear-ended once, by those same people driving around in a fog. So, any little bit of extra warning that I can display that says, "Hey! Wake up! I'm here!" is something I go for.
And, SSCULLY, putting on HIDs does kind of make it impossible to have DRLs, doesn't it? However, I've been seeing "dimmable" HIDs advertised here lately. I wonder if they could be somehow adapted?
To anyone who objects on the basis of Government telling you what to do, or trying to keep you safe, I'm on your side!
I hate "child-proof" caps! Bring back mercury thermometers! Give us back leaded fuel and high compression engines! Put the lead back in paint so it will last! Surround very hot things with asbestos! I could go on and on, but hopefully, you get the idea that I'm not in favor of "Big Brother" protecting me. I'll do it myself, thank you!
