    I'm going to guess that you could buy U.S.-market turn signal housing with the LED DRLs, to replace your existing front turn signals. Then just connect the DRL wires to a switched 12V in whatever manner you please and can manage.

    I have a second-hand set (not for sale), meant to replace an original with broken lens, but just haven't gotten around to doing the swap yet. Access doesn't look easy, and the DRL wire connectors are missing and not yet replaced. The DRLs are rated as 7.2 watts per side, or just over a half amp each. Tie them directly to 12V and they light up just fine, no external drivers needed, that is all internal.

    The turn signals are wired separately. If the overall design is the same, you should be able to just twist the lamp holders out of your signal housings, and twist them into the U.S.-market housing.
