This kit didn't come with turn signal switchbacks or drl taps. It's just ON when car is on or OFF when car is off. I'll be getting a different controller that enables switchbacks and other stuff when car is off

These DRLs are marginally brighter than stock, but still not as bright/bold as, say, Audi's DRLs. If brightness is your top priority, I'd recommend getting some switchbacks (not RGB) - they tend to be brighter than fully addressable RGB LEDs.
