i got a hid kit and it says that u need to turn off the autolights off. so how do u do that so it wont work nemore?

 

turn your right blinker knob till your display flashes auto lights off

 

yeah but when u shut the car off. and than later turns it on the auto lights is on again.

 

If you have projectors, autolights will just turn on your low beams at night. If your talking about DRL, it uses high beams instead. There is no need to turn off autolights unless you are using HID's in stock reflector housing with a cheap ebay HID kit.

 

in the dic you can set them to off just got through it .

 

the dic?

 

or just unplug your daytime running lights fuse

I cant do that with mine

I wouldnt worry about it, your light come on automatically for a reason, its just not a good habit to turn them on and off alot in a short amount of time

 

you dont kow what a dick is? j/k the dic is the cars little computer that shows the milage, gas milage, outside temp and oil life%.

 

hahaha thats funny!! well i have done that where u hold down ur lights switch til it says autolite off. and than it works but when i turn off the car it just goes back to normal autolite on. oh yeah the hid kit i got isnt a cheap kit.

 

Why? because you paid a lot of money for it? LOL

 

unplug the fuse for drl....ive left the drl's alone and my lights have lasted over a year and a half

 

You have an '05 and DRL's are turn signals so this is COMPLETELY UNNECESSARY.

Just a heads up.

 

oooh good point there lol

 

You can, however, follow outlined procedures on this page if you desire to not have DRL's, it's completely legal to go without them in the United States.

 

no i am wanting to turn the auto headlights off. they say on my hid kit that auto headlights are not good for the bulbs.

 

its fine dont worry about it..i still have my auto lights and ive had hid's for well over a year

 

Why? Auto lights simply turn your headlights on when the time is right, or close to being right. Yeah it might be slightly sketchy at dusk, but it wouldn't ever fluctuate fast enough to have any affect on your HID's.

 

my auto lights turn on when the car is turn on
and off when i lock it after shutting it off

 

from my experience, i noticed that my drl are dimmer than when i turn my knob to low beam. im sure it uses less watts for the drl (auto lights) so that is more than likely why they are telling you to disable this for your HIDs. I believe there is an option for turning the drl completely off in the dic..if im not mistaken, its in the menu where you reset your oil life percentage after you change your oil. i cant remember exactly but you have to hold down two buttons to get into that menu. ill look at mine tomorrow to make sure...but maybe this will help

edit: and by the way...my drl are on 24/7 no matter how bright it is outside....then when its too dark, it will switch over to low beams and turn my gauge cluster lights on, etc.

 

i dunno wat the hell you guys are doing...lol...i just leave the lights alone and they work just fine

regardless he has an 05 which means his drls are his orange turn signals which means it doesnt matter...

if you dont like the look of drls you basically have 3 options...pull the fuse, manually shut them off or turn on your fog lights which automatically turns off the drls

 

ahhh i wasnt aware that the older balts just had the parking lights. what year did that change?

 

2007

 

i think your mainly talkin bout when you turn the car on when its dark enough outside for the headlights to come on.. if thats the case there is two easy ways to do this with out messin with the dic and 1 is to crank the car as soon as you tuen the key on.. by doin that you dont give the lights time to come on before the car is started which is what i do with my hids or 2 you can turn the lights on high beam before you start the car and that will keep the hids from comin on untill you dim them after startin the car..

 

ive tried turning it off as well since i also have hids...havnt been successful as of yet
