did you get your HID conversion kit yet? if not, I will suggest you get a slim digital..

but if you do want DRLs, maybe you can ask a dealership to move them to your high beams, like what the ralliarts have.

ralliarts and evos have the high beam built into the projector.. Do not I repeat do no wire your DRL to your high beam... I will personally beat you since I'm sick of being blinded by idiots who drive around town with their high beams on or there hids blasting in your eyes.

to anwser your question your probably looking for the drl delete relay.

Will and Shawn are probably the two I would speak with about this.

If you havent already, or if the kit doesnt come with it, order a Relay kit to resolve the DRL issue. doing that will help you to avoid wire cutting.

octaneX2, you live in sauga right? well i could direct you to the people who i get my hids from.

and yes, stitchflip is right, get a slim digital ballast. they will avoid the flickering once you drive your car

position: zero no flicker, 1 city lights on, 2 hids on city lights on etc...

with that being said, i did not need an antiflicker nor a relay with this setup. it doesnt flicker and only turns on when you want em too... so the only downside is... no DRL's, but why would you wanna waste your bulbs life by having em on all day long...

so if this setup makes sense to you, ill help you out. HEck ill even install it for you.

just swapped harnesses from fog's. basically 2x 9006 and 2x H11 extensions cut in half and spliced with each other.

fogs run as drl and low beams. hid's run as fogs. ( no cutting of any factory wires and still keeping it legal )
