The LEDs could be set to work as DRLs I'm sure, there are some differences in how our North American cousins' cars are set up from the factory so I'm sure with a bit of tinkering the LEDs could be made to work as you want them.
They definately don't need a BCM upgrade from what I've read, that's why they still have a halogen main beam inner lamp in that the vehicle's electronics don't have to be significantly modified to run them and they won't require AFS modules and the like.
Just get them aimed up at an MOT station and away you go (check your insurance don't get shirty with them first though, that was one of the things that held me back).
