Here are some pictures from 2017 CX-5 Touring showing whenever DRL function is on, both LED DRLs and LED low-beam headlights are simultaneously on! You can imagine how GT DRLs work by replacing Touring LED DRLs with GT's LED Signature DRLs.
Here's what the front lights look like when light switch is at parking light position without DRL function when car is in stationary:

Finally for 2017 CX-5 Touring the high-beam is from the same LED cell for the low beam in the projector, and use a shutter to control them like 2015 bi-xenon HID. For 2016 LED headlights we have a separate LED cell at inner side of the low beam LED dedicated for high beam only.

Other drivers aren't going to care. I promise.
Nope. Of this I am sure.
... Oh wait. There might be one other driver that may notice. A 2014-2016.5 Mazda CX-5 enthusiast owner...like those of us that hang here (y'know, like maybe 10 percent of all CX-5 drivers)... Might just look and think to themselves....
"Damn...those DRLs aren't nearly as cool as I thought they'd be. GLAD I GOT A 16!"

I believe this kit is DRL module for 2017 CX-5 with halo LED Signature lights (serve as parking lights as other regions don't use amber parking lights with dual-filament 7444NA bulbs) without Daytime Running Light function sold in non-US market. Since we already have DRL function built-in, but with low-beams wired with halo LED Signature lights as DRLs, I feel this kit won't work for US 2017 CX-5's. I could be wrong but that is my guess based on the Japanese description.
I found the part number for the Japanese "Daylight Kit" B62T V7 790

In fact, once we have the electrical diagram and found the DRL function feed to low beam headlights, we should be able to easily cut the feed and disable the headlights as part of DRLs.
