Default Daytime Running Lights upgrade

Has anyone done a DRL upgrade on a 987.2? The subdued look is stylish, but the DRL's are not very visible. Much like my Miata, I feel safer running the headlights, but looking for options. Along the same lines has anyone modified them to turn on with the ignition?
another option would be making the headlights auto on with ignition. I still need to research coding Porsches. I've coded a few options on my BMW's.

I have a 2010 Cayman S. The computer gives you the option to select Daytime Running Lights.

Bottom left stalk on steering wheel. Select “set” then “lights”:




You have this set-up and it's not enough?

My 2009 has DRL's. The question is whether anyone has found a brighter upgrade. The single line of LED's doesn't make the car as visible as those on other cars.

Check this out. Auto headlight modification. Talks about DRL. You'd have to investigate if the DRL is an improvement:
