Keeping lights on

Okay so I'm about to get oem-HID's on a non sss gsr. Whats the big deal if I keep my lights on the whole time? My Evo X isn't a daily driver, so I was wondering if its harmful to drive around with the HID's on all the time.

I've tried the search function and I know having the DRL's with the HID's is a no-no... but I couldn't find anything about having the HID's on all the time.

THANKS!

There are lots of people that do it...just be kind and lower the trajectory for other drivers.

I did the swap recently and it's no big deal keeping them on all the time.

As long as the motor is running, I don't see why not?

Thats what I figured. I'll just have them on all the time, as long as they are aligned properly it shouldn't be an issue.

That's exactly what i've been doing. No problems yet. i did have to lower them quite a bit to get them to the point where people have stopped flashing me.... you can hide so much horror in a trench coat

Just do this --> https://www.evolutionm.net/forums/ev...rls-works.html

Costs about 20 bucks from any pepboys, autozone, etc. Took me 30 minutes to get the wire cut and hooked up. You never modify any of your factory wiring whatsoever. You don't want to run your HIDs all day long, those bulbs are not cheap, unless you like wasting money...
