what I've found out is there is no way around it, sry, sniping your drls was I think a dumb move, I was thinking of doing that for awhile cause my stereo system dims all my lights, but day time running lights are important

the reason for daytime running lights are, back in the 80's people kept forgetting to put their lights on naring dark and collisions were at a high rate so the drl's started becomeing more popular during the late 80's early 90's, became pretty much manditory late 90's

The DRLs are to actually make the car more visible in the daytime to other drivers. Either way mine are disabled because they're the low-beam lights on mine and that would be bad for the HIDs. I'll be converting them to the high beams when the weather gets nice.

Ok ok so what if I just connect/split the wire from the right hi beam that is working to the left one that not working will that cause any problems? All that other stuff seems too complicated any other suggestions?
