Don’t you have to install resistors?
It is possible to do but can get a bit messy, you need to measure the current on the led for the side and drl component then work out the difference between that and a standard bulb, then calculate the size of resistor for the difference also allowing for dissipation (several higher values in parallel better than 1 single resistor) then connect across the side and the drl pairs

Can't comment on DRL's but I have fitted LED number plate lights and each of them came with an attached resistor in its own heatsink. That was seven years ago and they've worked without issues, or error messages, ever since.
