Interesting.

Is night time visibility improved with this addition ?

What happens when headlights are dipped ?

Also, when headlights are off, does it work as a DRL ?

Yes improves enough. I used a 54w led bar and connected only/direct with High Beam.
When High beam on led bar on. High beam off and led bar off.
I have xenon ABL lights and i also change the extra high beam with led bulbs.

See photos of the light bar i used...It is a Greek link but i am sure is made in China.
Cheap enough...The securing brackets was the most difficult part as i just remove the lower grille and not the whole bumper.

Same here - also interested in purchasing links for the light bar and led replacement main beam lights.
Does the replacement of the main beam lights to led cause any errors on the car lights monitoring? Does the light bar have any impact on car lights monitoring?

Looks a great job and would be interested in details of how you fitted

I used the following H9 fanless led.
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...?ie=UTF8&psc=1

MY13 D4 does not need canbus bulbs for High Beam.

Installation brackets was the most difficult part,and finally was custom made.
I took power direct from headlight socket on the left headlight.
As per my electrician the led bar could be connected direct with no any other issues.
But if you get stronger/higher watts led bar relay with fuse and direct power from the battery is necessary.
I upload some photos during installation( i did not removed the whole bumper)
