i dont understand why everyone is buying bypasses and spending so much money... the reason why the drl's still work after you pull the fuse is because theres a second source of power. i got rid of the flicker and the drl's by simply installing a switch after the drl relay. i used a regular toggle switch and grounded the switch. i even installed a switch for my fogs so i can turn them on without having to have my low beams switched to the on position. things u can do by just looking at a wiring diagram....

Some people like to keep their vehicle functioning as normal with the use of the stalk switch to turn on their lights. Yes you can run an entirely new circuit with a switch, but why when you can just install a inline capacitor that will smooth out the voltage sent by the DRL's. I still have an extra set of this wiring harness. Plug and play inline... if anyone wants it, PM me. Cheap.. I paid 25$ will get rid of it for 10+shipping.

u might be right with the functioning normal part. but still spending more than 10 or 20 dollars for a relay to me is a little pricey. i spent less than 10 dollars on everything. i also wired my fogs so they can turn on independantly as well as getting completely rid of DRLs as a whole. the relay ur selling for 10 is a steal. im surprise no one bought that already from you. good luck selling that. ill probably end up informing some friends around my area about ur sale incase they might be interested.

You are correct that the parts are cheap, but the hour you spent wiring things in is money as well. Also when/if that circuit ever fails, you are responsible for fuses/switches/relays, if it is still a factory harness, most peoples vehicles would still be covered under warranty....unless you have a **** dealer who says if you add a blinky LED to your car the engine warranty is void...lol
