Hi Everyone,

I recently purchased the Raptor HID Kit and also H7 Relay wiring Harness from http://www.retrosolutionsllc.com/servlet/the-247/HID-XENON-WIRING-HARNESS/Detail Installation was a breeze.

My Auto is working but when i turn the HID off manually my relay is buzzing so loud!!
I want to disable my DRL or not use it at all.

After some reading I saw people tapping into the parking light to bypass the DRL and have the auto working.

Can someone tell me where the parking light wire is or were abouts so i can tap in the signal wire from my Relay

Please and thanks

Anybody ? I just need to know where the parking light is so i can tap in.
Is it the Signals on my headlights?

Thanks

If you want to find out, open the manual and look for the schematic and trace it from there. Sometimes manuals can be difficult to read for regular guys like u n I, so try a google hit like this;
parking light schematic for mazda 3 blah blah (the blah blah is short version for what ever else you wanna add to the search engine.
hope this helps bro.

Oh ya, almost forgot, once you get the schematic, you can take it and literally go to your console under the steering column and using the diagram, literally trace it from the contacts on handle itself

Since I'm a noob on this forum too, I think I can answer BOTH of your questions......
1. why isnt anyone answering your question???.....Well, If you look in the "LIGHTING ELECTRICAL & SECURITY section, you will find a STICKY that will tell you EXACTLY how to do it. . . I mean DUDE, . . it literally took me less than 10 secs to find your solution and I havent been in this forum for almost 3 years man. . members on forums get quite annoyed when noobs (like u n I ) :) come in, asking an OBVIOUS question that can be solved with a simple looksee in the forum sticky....and expecting the forum regs to guide you by the hand to hand it to you on a silver platter......I'm not trying to be a smartass or give you a hard time. . . .just tellin ya like it is.....I'm a black n white kinda guy when it come to laying things on the table and I call em as I see em ;)

2. how do I solve my problem with my hid's . . . . .well.........look in the sticky column.....it's waiting to stare you in the face

Issue has been resolved by tapping into the parking light. I no longer have DRL :) perfect.
Thanks McGuyver !!
