NEW METHOD: DRL's and HID's
NEW METHOD: DRL's and HID's
Came up with a new method for eliminating HID flicker without any splicing, MOSFET's, Cap's, etc. It's all located in the hood fuse box.
Here's how it works:
- Light Switch in OFF position: DRL's will come through FOG lights, HID's OFF
- Light Switch in Position 1: DRL's will come through FOG lights & Parking Lights ON, HID's OFF
- Light Switch in Position 2: FOG lights Fully ON & Parking Lights ON, HID's OFF
- Light Switch in Position 2 & Fog Switch ON: FOG lights Fully ON & Parking Lights ON, HID's ON
In other words, your main light switch controls your Fog lights and your Fog Switch controls your HID's.
Picture below (enough to figure it out) and can do a full write up if anyone is interested.

I'll keep this in mind. I am working on a schematic to do full Highbeam (Half power) DRL mod. Unfortunately to do this properly I have worked out a 6 relay schematic.
I'll pull out a fluke and analyze your setup, might save me a few Relays in my circuit.

Okay! This is great!
I currently can't flash my high beams without causing the HIDs to come on as well (introducing hot strike issues with the bulb and balllast).
AND i want the fogs on with parking lights.
TWO mods in one! Woot!
Need more how-to details!
Thanks!
