    PROBLEMS W/ HID & DRL?

    anyone that installed HIDs on thier car having problem with the DRL?
    my HIDs flicker because there is not enough power through the DRLs so i have to turn on my light....
    the shop tried to disable the DRLs through the relay but coudlnt do it without messing up ohter parts of the car. and no im not ghetto cutting wires and stuff to disable it like some of the DIY posts either thats just dumb.

    i have to turn on my light for 10secs to let the electrical current stable then i can turn off the light and it will be ok.

    anyone having problems with this?

    Dont use DRLs with your HIDS... Unless you wanna burn your bulbs faster or have other problems, disable your DRLs like Moonshadow said...

    my shop is a REAL pro racing shop, they got it to fit, they customized the bulb plug.

    well after i turn on my light for 10secs ( with e-brake up ), it was fine.
