Does this happen to anyone elsE?

um lets see.....there is only one way to turn on your headlights if you dont have DRL's and that would be the knob on the left lever, as found in all cars.

hey... you american people has DRL on your cars???

I disabled them on my car by cutting the DRL relay's red wire with a blue stripe


EDIT : maybe you are from Canada I don't know and it's my bad if I assume that you are all from the US...

Does this happen to anyone elsE?

I just bought my HID's and tried to put them in .. after turning on the car .. i get a static buzz from my car stereo system .. and my HID's flicker .. does this happen to anyone else?


Edit:

If you disable the DRL's how will you turn on your headlights?

Okay .. If you disable the DRL .. how would u turn the lights on when u need them? by using the switch?

Here's the difference in brightness ..

^^^^
Yup

w/DRL

ignition : nothing
after releasing the e-brank : low 50%
1st click of the switch : low 50% + position lights on
2nd click of the switch : low 100% + position lights on

w/o DRL

ignition : nothing
after releasing the e-brake : nothing
1st click of the switch : position lights on
2nd click of the switch : low 100% + position lights on

if you want, you can use a different switch for your DRL... just cut the red wire w/blue stripe and install a switch on the line...

so .. if i disable my DRL's i would have to turn the left side in order for my lights to work? or would i have to add a switch like vamp did?

add a switch on the red wire w/blue stripe... its not that hard...

well i know its not hard .. is adding a switch the only way i can turn on my lights? or can i just use the turn thing ..

You don't know how to turn your lights on like normal people do? Don't tell me you actual drive with just your DRLs on. That is illegal.

this is true .. i do .. bcz when i need to drive in the dark the lights are already on ..

DRL's are really dim since they only run at a fraction of the voltage. Plus your parking lights won't be on which is a hazard. Get in the habit of turning the headlights on manually at night. You should disable the DRL's for HID's. You don't want to burn them out prematurely.

but what about the strobe light problem?? is there a way to fix it?


Edit : Nevermind .. i just spent about 1hr and 30min .. disabling the DRL and now it works .. no more flickering and no more buzzing sound

disable your DRL... its not that hard... DRL needs 6V (half of 12V) ... so if your voltage transformer needs 12V at the input and you give it only 6V, its not enough... it needs 12V no less no more... it's like a led.. a led needs .7V to light up if you give it less it won't light up and if you give it more, it will light too much and burn out prematurly

night shots coming soon
