Is there a way to disable the auto on/off function of the headlights on a 2007 ss?

thanks.. I will do that tonight. I have blown several HIDs and only thing I can think of is the constant on/off pulling in/out of garage..

Pull your DRL fuse. It'll blow HIDs more often than turning them on and off with the auto lights.

Are you talking about Daytime Running Lights? what does the DRL fuse control?

thanks

DRL...Daytime Running Lights...they run at a lower voltage than full power and will screw with HID ballasts.

odd.. my DRL fuse was blown..

As for the auto on/off feature, i did not see it in the menu.

yeah ballasts were screwed due to my drl im just gonna pull the fuse during the day

i just orded a new kit from vvme so we will see if these last

I do not understand what the DRL fuse did? Like I said, mine had been blown for weeks apparently and I didnt notice anything.

lol oh **** maybe my hid kit was fine maybe i just blew my drl fuse i should cheack that out :P

joey3002

nono, what I am saying is my 1 HID worked, the other i do think blew... but i put the stock lights back in and never checked the fuses.. Everything in my car worked however, when I just (last night) installed the new HID's, I went to pull the DRL fuse and realized it was blown.

But everything worked fine... so I am asking what the fuse actually did?

Interested in the auto on/off function also... I've ordered a set of 6K HIDs and I know when I install them the DRL fuse MUST be taking out, BUT I've already tried this when I take the fuse out my auto lights still come on during the day. And I don't want my HIDs running during the day for no reason or keep turning them off when ever I turn my car on.. It's hot in FL I don't need any extra heat in or on my headlight lens's lol

DRL makes your low beams to come on during the day. If you install a relay harness (which is recommended with hids) you do NOT need to remove the DRL fuse. As for the auto on/off function there's a thread on how to install a resistor so the sensor always think its day... You then need to turn on your headlights manually!

07+ this is an issue

drl's run at a lower power than the headlights even though its the same bulb
