Is the fuse for the DRL's under the hood or under the dash? I just took the bulbs out of the DRL's and my full headlights come on like the DRL's would now. So my HID's run all the time and I hate it.

Also, to answer another post, I believe it was under the hood. Check your manual for the exact position/number.

I just changed out the bulbs with some white LED replacements I ordered off of ebay for like, $16. Quick job...like less than 10 minutes total.

Later on when I am done with my power stuff, its time to do cosmetic/ touch up stuff. Plan on getting something like Demon Eyes as headlights and LED tail lights as well.

I have Demond Eyes. That's why I needed to get rid of my DRL's. My DRL's came out of my projectors so it's kind of hard to see your Demond Eyes with my HID's on. So now that there off, it looks great.
I can't seem to figure out how to add photos on this thread yet or I'd put some up.

I posted this in another thread but I went blue. Been thinking about switching to red or a white though.

I'd love to see a proper wiring schematic to change DRLs to the fogs.

I have no projectors, so my car has no DRL. I had to actually go out and check today, I never noticed either way. Is it only SS packages that have the DRL, and the MR?

Did some searching for parts and found out that that SS package was well worth the money. Should have gotten it. The left or right HID headlight assembly, for just one not both, is 1k dollars. Guess I'm not buying oem projectors anytime soon. lol

With Chevy trucks, I've seen it vary by state. I have a 2013 (purchased in CO) and it does have DRL.

Does anyone know if we have a CAN Bus system or will any automotive LED (1156) work?
