With their kit, their heavy-duty relay harness will amplify the DRL's lower-voltage and properly fire up the low-beam HIDs. But they will run at full power, not half power, all the time which effectively lowers their life-span by half. I was reading through the how-to archive and found the how-to for the OFOC DRL Fog light mod and was wondering if it would be possible to do this mod, except wire it into the high-beam slot to enable the high-beam as the DRL instead of the fogs?
Every once in a while this comes up and I must admit I have yet to hear of anyone successfully doing this ... IIRC there seems to be some problem with losing the high beams except for the flash to pass feature.
In the meantime why not go with the fogs as DRL - I have MACH hids in the garage and if I ever get around to installing them, that's what I'm going to do, except I was going to wire some LED DRLs into the foglight harness and then give the fogs a circuit and switch of their own.
