What did you do to your DLR? Did you hook it up with Low beam?

I actually ended up buying these HWStar LED projector headlights on Amazon instead:

They're just as bright as the OEM LED headlights on my 2018 VW GTI.

I used D-Lumina LED decoders to fix the DRL/fog light issue:

Installation was plug and play.

My mistake, I misunderstood your initial question. I didn't hook up the DRL wire yet. Connecting it to the low beam wire would be the way to go.
