Search!

DRLs are your problem. You need to wire it up by disabling the DRLs.

I think we should start placing bets or make a drinking game for every time someone asks this question.....

If it was drinking, we'd be sooo drunk right now.

mazda3boi: Here's a couple of freebie DIY's... but only cuz you sound desperate and like you're about to cry. (PS you owe us a beer now LOL jkkkk :)) Otherwise, go through the sponsors section. Someone can probably help you there. Gooood luck!

Use your fogs as DRL's.

Buy this capacitor (http://cgi.ebay.ca/2-x-HID-Warning-Decoder-Error-Canceller-Capacitor-/170467048218?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories ) then plug it in then you will solve the flickering issue but you only need one and save another for backup.

HA! HA! no kidding!!

Before I even considered HID, fog mod etc, I read almost every 'how to' in here and mazda3.com sites before asking any questions.

seriously though mazda3boi, most enthusiast forum members will beat you with the "Use the Search" fugly stick if you ask silliness

oh and welcome to TM3 btw :welcome smiley
