It would be easier to change the DRL bulbs for ones without the yellow phosphor, they'll probably only last a few months more anyway.
Hello mate.
You know what, changing bulbs to ones with no yellow phosphor it's just the best and easiest option, but I still would like the rear lights to be on while the DRLs are fully on, but I just think it's too much and I should scrap this idea

Thank you for all your input everyone, very much appreciated as always
