Customize the DRL's? Blackhouse + HID?

[CB7Nub]

Has anyone done it? I know it's not really worth it but if any has done it can they post some pictures? The blackhouse would make more sense as would even out the colour between the headlight and DRL.

Are you talking about blackhousing your headlights and using HIDs as your DRLs?

[crazymikey]

HIDs wont work as DRL's will they?

What if you converted your high beam 9005s to 9006 plugs and just ran with them on as your DRL's, but they'd just look like your low beam headlights are on, but in the high beam spot.

DRL's you know, on the side, part yellow, part flashing when turning.
Nah I'd like to keep my highs as highs and lows as lows. :P

DRLs are daytime running lights...they are in your high beam spot, and are
your high beams at around half intensity....

If you put hids in them they will no longer work as DRLs.

So what exactly are you asking? Do you want to change your DRLs from the high beam spot to the turn signal spot? And then run hids in the high beams??

How would we go to doing DRL's?

I have the Nokya high beams and i would love to run them at half its intensity at all times.

But clean whip you got sir. I noticed your in yuba city you should come down to sac and say whats up.

[CB7Nub]

What's this then?...
FIY, no lights ever come on automatically which I believe they are supposed too.
I get that light, low beam, then high beam, nothing else.

DRL or driving lights found on all Canadian cars 1990 and up on most cars are the high beam bulbs running at half power. Unless you rewire your headlight system, it can't be done.

I wouldn't bother if i were you. Maybe just hook up your park lights or something to light up while the ignition is on

[CB7Nub]

Would I get pulled over for just running the side lights at day time? Or just run low beams to be safe?

How much would it be to fix this approx? Too much? Rewire? How Hard?

So many questions arrggghh!

No, running park lights or low beams is 100% good, you won't have any issues!
In fact, i imported a car that didn't have the drl, so during the out of country inspection, the shop doing the work hooked up park light s with my ignition to make it legal
