So some comments, and then the video will be done.
1) DRL is daytime visible from very far away when in 100% mode using the fused pnp included harness.
2) You still have to manually disable the "AUTO" setting DRL using this harness but if you do, the "L" goes to 100% brightness immediately.
3) "L" brightness will always be 50% if your parking light, turn signal, hazard, headlight, high beam, or DRL (factory orange turn signals) are one.
--
You can visibly see even more contrast in person between 50% and 100% mode. - Your lights should always switch within .5 seconds from 50% to 100%.
Todd used the "TRANS" fuse = 1 and it works fine, it works on his car, it's not a recommended fuse on any of the BMWs, Dodge, Mercedes, or similar cars because it may throw fault codes but it works on his setup. A/C has been a perfectly good fuse as an ACC (accessory) option so I'd recommend staying with fuse 15 for that.
I will be posting a video of this shortly.

Just ordered a set. My lenses need replaced so rather than mess with that replacing the headlights just seems easier. What is the story with this $20 wiring harness? Are these in stock shipping soon or are you still waiting on shipments?

Unfortunately, there are some technical limitations on the video, our apologies!!!
The most important parts were unfortunately too blurry to use, we need to do another video, but will be happy to explain the video if you want.

Because the car was in the shade, we operated the headlight switch incorrectly so it didn't allow the increase in brightness, our fault, pressed the wrong button.
The main issue was the drive by videos didn't come out very well, they really showed the speed with which the brightness increases when none of the other lights are activated, it's on par or better than most OE lights like the ones on Porsche, VW, Audi, BMW, etc.

Also, the other factor is that youtube has greatly diminished the quality of some of the video, I just looked at the raw video that was unedited and it's clearly visible that it dims correctly - just the section there is very fuzzy and out of focus, sorry about this. We will do better!

Sincere apologies to some of you that have been waiting. The factory was unable to book a shipment date this week. They booked a container on Monday.
There is an up side, because there is a delay by them, they said they can put 4 more headlights on the order, so there are 4 more spots open for THIS shipment at the discounted price for those that are interested.
There are 3 more spots for the tails for THIS shipment at the discounted prices.

Saw something about protection film/etc. Whats the deal with that? I would hate for my $1000 headlights to get dinged up. Something you guys have or just have local wrap place do it?

I am not giving up on the idea of these headlights with CLEAR lenses...
Could anybody that has installed these new headlights be kind enough let me know whether the lenses fittings are the same than the OEM lenses and whether I could do a direct lenses swap?
Thanks!
