Or is there a true plug and play option yet for LED? Not trying to run a bunch of ballast or things to the battery. Thank you. I was searching this morning but didn't see anything for halogen replacement.

Unfortunately no...what you seek does not exist (Yoda voice off)
I searched all over here and in the Australian market for a replacement...no go.
The issue is that the high beam bulb serves as the DRL, when you are not using the high beams. If I remember correctly; the filament on the factory high beam bulb runs at 12.x volts all the time. However, in DRL mode the wattage on the bulb is like 12-15 (I think) giving the low power, warm white glow we all hate.
Once you hit the high beams, the 12.x volt filament gets a huge increase in wattage, hence the bright white high beam, now blinding oncoming traffic.
I will stipulate that my memory MAY not be as sharp as it once was and it MIGHT be a dual filament bulb...
Either way, unless something has changed in the last couple of years. We have no other option other than the stock Toyota bulb. Unless you want to scrap the DRL all together and replace the high beams with a complete aftermarket High beam HID kit.
FWIW, I did change out my low beams to aftermarket HID, but i find the stock high beams to be sufficient for my needs, most of the time.
I just turn my DRL's off with the switch....
Good Luck
