I have mine set to come on during the day, so that I have some sort of lights on at all times. Could you do me a favor and see if yours still illuminate with the headlights on and the transmission in drive? Obviously this would take two people.
Yes, it illuminates while driving with headlights on. I have a manual transmission.

Man, I have no idea how these bulbs work. They have 4 wires just like the OEM halogen bulbs, and it should be 2 function just the same as their tail lights, which work great. They should illuminate dimly when the headlights are on and brightly when they are off. Instead, they’re either off or on. Unfortunately I can’t find any specifics on the construction of the bulbs and it may just be the BCM losing it because of the low resistance.

Thanks, that would be much appreciated.

Edit: Also, which bulbs did you get? HP48, HP11, or XP80?

Not with those DRLs yet. I have a pic of headlights and fog lights the day before I installed DRLs. But they all match perfect. I will take another pic today.

EDIT: I actually do have some pics with headlights, but one is at the daylight which doesn't show all the brightness, and the night time one is very crappy from phone camera

Did you get new fog lights and headlights or are you still stock?

Looks really good. Seems like the issue with DD's DRL's is isolated to the XP80 bulbs then.

Any updates from Diode Dynamics on the XP80 bulb issue?
