just an idea to disable the DRL did anybody think off using the fog light switch to turn on the HIDs... or using the highbeam switch cuz we dont usually use the high beam... i was actually thinking of the fog light switch to turn on my headlight or when i replaced them with HIDs thus eliminating the DRL any ideas...besides mine...
yeah i know i read it somewhere too, just having trouble looking for it ok thats good that somebody has done...
Right now there are two famous ways to "disable" or "get around" DRLs First of all theres the old way, which is switching the low beam cables to the fog lights and while using the fogs as DRLs, you use the fog cables for your HIDs... although this is an option that you have to splice a lot of cables, is necessary for some states/countrys which require DRLs... The second option is the Relay harness, with doesnt require any splicing at all... you just need the relay harness (now most of the seller are including it or have them for sale) and connect everything normally... now the harness requires a power source (usually your normal headlamp harness or straight from the battery) and a remote on cable... you can buy a "fusetap" that you can get at autozone or any auto store... you hook that fuse tap to the socket were your city light fuse is.. in that fuse tap you will have 2 fuses and a cable... one fuse is for the remote start of your harness, and the other fuse is for the fuse that you replaced with the fuse tap, in this case its the city lights fuse... then that cable hanging out from the fusetap is the actual "tap" were you are going to connect the remote on of the HIDs... and you are done im planning to get some harness soon to be able to do a how-to with pictures.... mods, feel free to sticky this or move it to the tutorials area if you want
i never got the harness so i never did the how-to... i just run them 24/7 on... no problem with that yet
Have you ever gotten to where you were goin and realized you forgot to turn em on? happened to me a few times, makes me wonder what it looked like. lol
if you just leave them on all the time, they turn off like 2 seconds after you turn the car off and open the door. Thats what I do so that I dont forget to turn them on. Kinda looks like strobe lights but its not good for them, could potentially kill em
ok so let me get this straight, if i don't mind having my HIDs on all the time if I get the relay then I won't have to have my lights to the on position and they will be fully powered acting as my DRLs? Cuz it doesn't bother me having them on its just when you have the switch in the on position it dims my navi and I can't see it...
/\ i think there might be.. i think i was playing with it one day and got it to work somehow... unless they someone disabled it because they dont want u to have a bright white light shining in your eyes when its dark (because u have ur headlights on)... thats what i always thought... prove me wrong tho
you can set the it to dim when you turn your lights on or you can set it to stay bright when you turn your lights on. its in the settings somewhere.
