white4d96 Posted August 28, 2009 Report Share Posted August 28, 2009 (edited) I have been shopping around looking at HID conversions for my 'Prix recently, because the stock lights, well, suck. However, if I do get a chance to buy a conversion, I want to try and do away with the daytime running lights on my car from the factory. Basically whenever my car is on with the e-brake disengaged, my headlamps are on. No other bulbs, just the 9006s. Does anyone know if there is a way to bypass this? EDIT because I can't spell.

Soulman07 Posted August 28, 2009 Report Share Posted August 28, 2009 I have been shopping around looking at HID conversions for my 'Prix recently, becaust the stock lights, well, suck. However, if I do get a chance to buy a conversion, I want to try and do away with the daytime running lights on my car from the factory. Basically whenever my car is on with the e-brake disengaged, my headlamps are on. No other bulbs, just the 9006s. Does anyone know if there is a way to bypass this? It's the same on a lot of cars... Not required though, look at the pontiac forums. Search for disable DRL's, There's a relay that controls the circuit and there's also a sensor... I don't know if it's as simple as removing the relay on that car in particular though. You should be able to find some information on how to go about it. If the cars 06 and down, I can pull all of the wiring diagrams needed. Just let me know, on some cadillacs that I've disabled them on it throws a code for the sensor being bad. So there's some wiring modifications that needed to be done. Don't know if your car would be the same.

SocoJoe Posted August 28, 2009 Report Share Posted August 28, 2009 look around the net for your car and also contact some local shops. I am about to do the same to my car, 09 jetta, but the vee-dubs run VAG-COM, and through that we can do all sorta of neat shit lol. more then likely someone/somewhere will be able to help you out alot more like noted above, look around for a specific forum dedicated to your car type/make.

If it's a 2000 or later then I'd suggest contacting BBEngineering and see if he can make up a harness for you. He's made one for my car but it's $75 and unfortunately there's no other way to get around it w/o throwing a code or messing up the function of the lights. If it's a later model like I said, our car's have alot in common so I feel your pain.

Stephen Posted August 28, 2009 Report Share Posted August 28, 2009 my car is a 2002 GM and it was a simple as cutting a wire at the bcm and grounding it. No codes or problems for the last 3 years since ive done it. Quote you can cook bacon shirtless if you're not a pussy...lol not hatin, but am i wrong here it looks as if the amp is not grounded its hooked directly to the battery. it that the way it should be.
