Default GT3 Headlights (non Litronics) Dim?

My wife's GT3 has the regular projector headlights. She complains that they don't do a very good job of lighting the way. In Canada all cars require day-time running lights and normally this is done with the headlights running the two lamps in series instead of parallel. When you switch on the headlights using the dash mounted ****, it is normal to see the headlamps get brighter. Note, Litronic equipped cars do not do this, they run normal brightness all the time due to the electronic ballast system.

My question for GT3 owners in Canada with standard headlights is:

Do your lights get brighter when you swith them on or are the the same as when in day-time running light mode?
