Driver side for me, it seems to always be blamed on the day time running lights using less voltage than regular bulbs, but it seems if that was the case the fix would be easy, use a cap. in the ballast to charge before firing the bulb and it will stay on? But this problem seems to follow a lot of different cars even on non dtrl

switch the bulbs and ballast to see which it stays with

No the fuse is still there for the DTR, with that removed will the auto function still work at night time?

Yes. Rule #1 when installing the HID kit is to remove the DRL fuse.

And yes, the auto lights still work fine.

Full kit?

Does anyone sell a full HID retrofit kit that's plug & play as possible. I don't feel like taking on another project right now, lol. I would want bi-xenon with either BMW or Acura projectors (supposed to be the best?).

Thanks.
