LED Daytime Running Lights

I have a 2016 Lariat with standard headlights. I really want replacement headlights which have the headlight outlines be white LED DRLs. However, everything I find online says that the LED DRL function plugs into the parking feature meaning the white LED outline only stays lit when parked? I dont really care about LED high and low beams... just the outline being LED DRLs like how they turn amber in the Platinum edition.

Anyone know of or where I can find ones that act as actual DRLs?

Thanks!

You might want to look at either the ANZO LED headlight replacements (2015-2017 F150 ANZO LED Outline Projector Headlights (Black Housings) 111347), or the Oracle ColorSHIFT LED DRL (2015 Ford F-150 ORACLE ColorSHIFT® LED DRL - Headlight Replacement DRL Circuit Boards - ORACLE Automotive Lighting Products).

Either are way cheaper than the factory LED headlight assemblies.

Thanks. I did a bunch of research today and it seems you can take the anzo lights, and instead of connecting the outline led bar to the parking lights, you can wire it to come one with the ignition and act as a true DRL.

Im leaning towards the ANZO Switchbacks

Poking around a little bit more, I think I've found at least 3 makers of this type of light. Some of them have several style options.

Nice finds!
Would like to see some night time headlight patterns if anyone pulls the trigger!

From my research, the best brands are Anzo and RaptorRetrofit. RR are the most expensive at $1800, but they look exactly like stock, but with LED high and low beams. Anzo is the only reputable company I found that offers switchback for the LED outline bar and they are very reasonable for $500 a pair (after $30 off code "SAVE30").

I oredered the Anzo LED Switchbacks yesterday and they will arrive Monday. I'll let y'all know how it goes.
