I'd like to keep the auto lights and just loose the DRL. Argh... but then i'll probably have to wait until that is shipped so that I could install my HIDs. __________________ To view links or images in signatures your post count must be 10 or greater.

70 upfront, then when I receive your DRL module you get a partial refund of the $40.

Looking at it, it appears that the module controls the ground portion of the headlights. I would bet that if you permanently ground those wires, it would disable the drl modules ability to dim them.

I'm going to go try now and report back

I'm trying to find a way to have the headlights completely off, however retain the auto light. And/or have the DRL run on the high beam.

I need a extra DRL unit since I don't have the headlight schematic... I don't want to blow mine cause the DRL unit is $250+....
