IMPORTANT UPDATE: DRL/SIGNAL problem solved!!! EXCLUSIVE to Headlights from Radioflyer
Plug and Play, these lights have a completely separate white "hockey stick" LED bar and Amber turn signal. Function is as follows:
Day: Amber solid, Flashes for turn signal
Night: time: Hockey stick functions as parking light, turn signal flashes amber with hockey stick remaining lit.
Now, I know this is NOT the function you all wanted from these lights, but Radioflyer Innovations has the solution. With a modification to the harness, I was able to achieve the following function:
Day : White Hockey stick DRL. Shuts off for amber turn signal (like the C7)
Night: White Hockey stick DRL. Shuts off for amber turn signal (like the C7)
The Version from Radioflyer Innovations is COMPLETELY plug and play. No running of goofy harnesses to manual switches.
The prototype of these lights will be mounted to the first test vehicle tomorrow. Photos and videos will be available.

Video Update:
The DRL modification function works perfectly. It's fully automatic and completely plug and play (no running of harnesses or fuse tapping required)
The video shows daylight in worst-case scenario (passenger side) where sunlight reflects off the lens. You can still see the signal. Notice the DRL on the signaling side shuts off for signal, then resumes when signal is turned off. This is the proper function to ensure that the signal can be easily seen without competing with the DRL. (A safety function)
This setup will only be available from Radioflyer Innovations.I do not plan at this time to offer a plug-in option for headlights purchased from other vendors. (This way Radioflyer Innovations customers have something to brag about)

This is a huge bummer since I would have no problem paying for this. I would love for them to work like you have with this harness. Wish I knew this was going to be an issue from the start.

First driving test shots (cell phone camera)
The pattern from these lights will take some getting used to. While the cutoff is sharp and wide, there is a definitive "hot spot" in the center of the pattern. Most HID projectors have this, but intensity fades towards the bottom and sides of the pattern. With the LED projector in these lights, the hot spot as a defined edge with minimal transition to the rest of the pattern. As long as the headlights are properly aimed, you aren't likely to notice on long-straight roads, but it will be obvious on turns and hills/dips.
You can see the hot spot further down the road
Low beam
High beam (raises cutoff slightly)

Said the same thing in another thread. No idea why you wouldn't jump at the opportunity to sell these to potentially one hundred customers before another vendor figures out a similar solution.

which is coming anyway was talking to vettelights last night once the sets all come in I’m sure he will figure something out and if he comes out with something more money for him that’s all 🤷🏻*♂️

Given the customer demand, I'm working on sourcing the components to build a plug-and-play version of this on a larger scale. Right now I only have parts to build a few of these. The end design will end up looking similar to our White-DRL harness but with an extra component for this specific application. Stay tuned.
