Thoughts?

I don’t like the Morimoto’s, but it’s aesthetics and subjective. I prefer to keep as close to OEM as possible, and getting creative behind the facade to make it work.
If you’re happy with the OEM performance and just want to add your DRL bulbs to high beam function, look at what is powering the shutter for the bi-LED module. You may be able to build a split harness to power the 9005 bulb too. For mine, it goes 9005 from the vehicle to a 9005/9005-koito split which then goes to the drl and projector. In theory because my signal power is constant for the DRL, the projector shutter solenoid is always powered, but because the projector is off it’s not noticeable. Likely this will lead to premature failure of the projector solenoid, but you can get an IS bi-xenon projector for like $40 on eBay.
I can PM you pictures of the wiring if you want. Everything is tucked away so it’s pretty stealth under the hood.
