I think US headlights have less powerful strip than overseas. Even if we enable the strip it will not be bright enough to be useful aa DRL. Another solution is to replace fog lights with JDM which have fog and DRL in one unit.
This member's LC is not USDM but he was able to wire his LED strip with higher power to light up fully.

I'm the one who did the retrofit in that thread. I did not wire it with "higher power" to get the LED strip to light up in high brightness mode, just 12v. The LED strip has two 12v inputs - one for the running light mode and the other for DRL mode.
If someone can post a photo of the headlight connector in a 2016+ and maybe the wiring diagram, we can compare it to the non-US one. My dad has a 2017 with the LED strip as DRL - I can check if the wiring is the same
If someone has removed their headlight unit and has an up-close picture of the bottom connector showing the wire colors, that may help.
Already posted. See above #25
I have an extra headlight in my attic. I'll get it out later and take pics.
I have converted turn signals, license plate lights, reverse to LEDs already as all of those were overlooked by Toyota (vleds.com). DRL is the only one left but seems non-US may have slightly different set up as the power plug is different, so that is one thing I will never be able to correct.
Did you have any issues with hyper flashing on the turn signals / did you need resistors to get them to work properly? I’m looking to swap everything remaining to LED on my 16 and trying to decide if I should order resistors proactively.
Definitely you will need resistors. I have bought everything from vleds.com. For the front I have bought v3 (they have now v6). Make sure you buy vlr-3 resistors which will cover you for the front and rear turn signals (vlr-6 if only switching front). V6 resistors are just plug and play which is great. For rear due to limited space I got regular 7443. I have tried the new regular bulbs for rear but don't like how those reflect the light. You may want to try v6 for rear too since they are smaller now. You will not need resistors for rear if you get vlr-3 for the front.
