I just got these lights and they are awesome. ONE complaint. Living in Canada day-time running lights (DRL) are mandatory. When DRL lights are in use they run at half the voltage as they normally would. This is something LED lights don't function very well with, they seem to flicker because of the insufficient voltage. Is there a way for me to switch DRL from headlights to either fog lights or signals? or dare I say.... turn them off?

Has anyone else experienced any bulbs going out? I bought them from poison Spyder and will contact them and/or trucklites this week.
