I need to add daytime running lights (DRL-s) to my car, and since I have
separate high and low beam lights, I thought I could use high beams for
DRL-s.

First idea was to connect high beams in series, but since both are
grounded I think that I can not do that.

Than I searched for information if my car ('87 BMW E30 316) had factory
DRL-s. I found that it did for some markets, and it was done by
resistors. Unfortunately I can not find these (or any other resistors)
where I am, so I need another solution.

My leatest idea is to use current regulator like this one:

Any thoughts, or better ideas?

Here is the solution for a later BMW model (E36):

Several countries already mandate DRLs:

I am in Serbia. I think that it will be DRL or low beams.
