Relay Harness would work as well. They cost around $10 and are available from any lighting sponsor on this board. Running this will cause you to lose your daytime running lights (still have your lights for night, and your optional setting to have them on)...but who needs daytime lighting anyways?

We have relay and capacitors available.

Relay method will disable DRL completely.

Relay + Capacitor method will run your HID's full time during day and night.

Call around or use the threads that have been posted for you!

The 04-06 has a volt issues when installed it with HID. You need constant 12 volt to keep the HID going. If not, the HID will flicker and hear a buzzing sound. This will hinder the HID lifespan.
You need a capacitor that is integrate to the relay system. I had mine installed to the connection from OEM headlight wire to the relay. There have been other way to install it.

Need one 4700uF 16 volt. Just dont go below the 16 or 4700uF.

This explains the capacitor in the gen 1 mazda 3

Triggered off of parking lights or headlight wiring?

Ah gotcha. Was thinking in doing the indy mod but left the HID as DRL.
