I've been looking all over this site and I still haven't found the answer that I'm looking for. I want to install HIDs on my car, but what happens to the Daytime Running Lights? I really would still like to have them for my car. I've been told to look into a high and low beam plug & play package. Please help! Thanks a lot.

 

I'm assuming your car is 07 or newer?

 

Yes I have an 07. Sorry, forgot to mention that.

 

Ok, I found this thread... seems to be as easy as pulling the DRL fuse...

Edit: 07+ can't run HID's and DRL's (because the low beam is the DRL)
Well you might be able to but it sounds like it'll kill the ballast.

 

Thanks. I read it, but it still doesn't seem to answer it because I still would like to keep my DRL. Hmm...

What about switching the wiring and letting them run on my high beams?

 

during the day i just us my high beams....there not going to blind anyone.when i shut the car of at night i click the high beams on so when i start it the next morning....high beams are already on

 

That sounds possible.. only thing is to figure out your wiring I guess.

jefferyss -nice

Edit: What headlight assembly are you planing on using? (Projectors/Stock?)

 

I'm planning on using stock. I have to find someone that can actually help me, everyone has honda's over here. lol.

 

you could change the wiring around if you really wanted to, you would have to switch the orange and pink wires around , orange is low and pink is high if memory serves my correct

 

hey guys is this the same for a 06??? if so where is that fuse cuz i dont think mine was took out because well i still have driving lights and i hate them

 

i have hids in my 07, i pulled the DRL fuse, and turn on my fog lights and use them as my DRL, sounds like a hassle but you get use to it right away

 

The high and the low beam are the same bulb??

 

If you wire in your HIDs with a relay you want have to do anything to the car, the low beams will come on when the DRLs do. If you dont want to do that you can get the dual beam HID bulbs and just wire them in backwards(so the little bulb is the low beam) then youll have the little bulb for DRL and low beams and your HID for high beams

 

i just pulled the drl fuse in my gfs car...she turns on the parking lights for drls anyways

 

Question?? can a ruin ballast mess with the color of the light? or they would not turn on??

 

So with the relay I can keep my DRLs and the HIDs will come on with the headlights? And I was thinking about getting the HIDs with high and low beams already, that's the one you're talking about? I know I'm a little slow with all of this stuff, my boyfriend is the one who knows more but he's not sure what to do with the DRLs.

 

bump

 

Well I see on the fuse box cover DRL but I dont see a pullable fuse.... Anyone have a pic of the DRL fuse on an 08 SS/tc?

 

Right where the lid says it should be

 

Yeah, I pulled the fuse (mine's an '07), and my Headlights only come on when it's dark out, like normal auto headlights - just without them being on all the time...

 

What if I switch the wiring and make the DRL's my high beams, will the auto lights still work??

 

Might want to have a look at the wiring diagram before you go down that road, I expect the changes would be rather extensive.

If you can do it though, I see no reason the auto lights would not continue to work just fine.

 

so if u use a relay harness u can just keep the drl fuse in? it will just turn on the low beams? thats what it seems to be on my car. i should check with a volt meter to make sure though.

 

cmon its only HIDS dont make it into a turbo build thing.Just buy the HIDS and then you can mess around with how to wire them

 

i pulled my fuse too **** drl lol
