    Probably not possible to keep your highbeams, cause The Biz has angels + fog mod and HID's and he told me he has no highbeams either. You could ask him though.

    i just use the relay that devin provided at www.thexenonstore.com

    trust me that's all you need ....

    disable DRL and install your HID you have your auto light still working.

    that's the best way in my opinion.

    How the heck are you guys running your wiring?
    I've got angel eyes, fog mod, and HID's as well with working high beams.

    Angel eyes run off that blank spot in the fuse box (on only with Acc, I also added a switch)
    Fog mod is just that (utilizing the stock switch on the control arm)
    HID's uses the relay (signal input is coming from stock plug for low beam).

    I thought for 2004-2006 DRL bypass was tap the signal wire for the HID relay into the running light circuit.

    Just so I got this right...

    The reason why it's desirable to disable the DRLs with HIDs is because they flicker when used as DRLs? Is that right? No one running HIDs as DRLs?

    DRL for 2007+ are high beams so a bypass is needed unless you want HID's + 1/2 power high beams.

    DRL bypass for 2006 and under is needed because the lowbeam's pulse (Pulse Width Modulation) really fast to make them run at half power. This in turn would slowly kill the HID's, as well upon starting up the car the initial surge could/will effect the ballasts and again, killing the HID's (that is if the parking brake isn't on).

    So the 2007's use the inside high beam bulbs as DRLs? I wonder if a 2006 can be converted to use the high beam bulbs as DRLs instead of the main outside bulbs? Do the 2007's use the same bulbs for the high beams?

    If the exact wiring config could be determined then you could rewire everything. The highbeams are 9005 which I think is still the same.

    On a 2007, no bypass would be needed. You would tap the HID signal into the low beams instead of the parking lamp.

    does tapping into the parking light signal still make the headlight switch work porperly? what would connect into the (+) end of the cars original headlight connector since the (-) end goes into the HID kit?

    what plugs into the (+) end of the STOCK H7 wiring harness if the one from the HID kit goes into the 87 on the relay?

    does the headlight switch function properly by tapping into the parking signal wire??

    thanks.

    Did you read any of the first post?

    Are you trying to install HIDs? You need to use a relay harness and tap into the parking light for the signal.

    Default Re: How To: Disable DRL If You Have HIDs

    guys...need some major HELP!

    followed this thing step by step, with the dual 87 relay. looking at the schematic on the top of the relay though, it looks like 85/86 should be the power/ground circuit, and 30 is the switch.

    at first i wired it up according to the instructions here (30 power etc), and turned it on. nothing happened. i checked my signal connection and it seemed that the T-tap didn't slice into the wires. i decided just to strip both wires and splice them directly.

    I turned them back on (can't remember if i had power on 30 or 86 at this time), and the HID's turned on with the parking lights, and then shut off after about 5 seconds. i tried to refire them and nothing. I then disconnected the splice in, and i notice now that the parking light is not working. The Turn signal/hazards still work so the bulb/fuse is still good, but no parking light on the drivers side where i tapped/spliced in.

    i then thought i had did something to the wire so i then stupidly spliced a new wire in line. Everything still works except the parking light, and for that reason my HID's are not firing.

    i'm really worried now that i really effed up my stock wiring now, can anyone shed some light as to where to look to see why the parking light is not working properly now?

    I've had my e-brake wire unhooked to disable DRL on my 06. Been reading around but still haven't found a way without using a relay harness. Has anyone found a way yet cause I hate looking at the e-brake warning?

    Just use a relay. It's extremely easy and the safest way to do it.

    Yeah they are. I think he/she just wants the HIDs to be on all of the time.

    WOW!

    I have had so many problems with this. Im using the relay harness but i have them connected to the HID's, not the turn signal. The only way it works for me is:

    Turn on the lights
    Start the car
    Turn off the car
    Turn off the lights

    The DRL's cause my relay to make a clicking noise and it wont work any other way.

    I'm stumped. I don't understand why tapping into the turn signal light makes them work and not directly into the HIDs. Any help would be greatly appreciated

    I'm confused with how it's wired. Are you using a capacitor and a relay harness? Or just a relay harness?

    Using a cap and RH
    - take the signal from the OEM headlight harness

    If using a RH alone
    - take the signal from the corner light.

    I'm assuming you have an 04-05 and using RH alone (no capacitor)

    The HID's need a constant 12V to light up without flickering. DRL's do not run at that voltage until you actually turn on your low-beam headlights.

    Tapping the signal into the corner light means the HID's won't turn on until you turn on the parking lights (eliminating DRL's)
