well obviously haaha if you worked at delta lighting and was able to hook up all those lights on that jeep, you should not be asking how to wire up some lights here on the this thread..

but yea as i explained you can do it, just requires relays.

sorry but it will require MORE than a relay. you cannot trigger a 12v relay with 3 volts that come from the drl wire.

I have tried it on my '12.

it will require someway to convert 3.6 volts to 12 for your 'relays' to fire/


see my post.......the CORRECT one above yours/

thanks for any help.
do you not understand that the OP does not want the DRL function? He only wants HID to run as Low beams at 100%.. my method works, your method works too but your method is useless to HID bulbs.. keep in mind.. there is no point of having flash function as it is not recommended to turn bulbs off and on..or even flash them as it harms the bulb.

a direct wire without using the stock harness does work.. apparently you never did a direct wire. Please read and understand the thread.. ill quote myself again just for you..

each of our methods work depending on what you want..

if you want full control of the DRL HID bulbs, do it my way.. if you want the DRL HID bulbs to turn off when the low beams turn on, then do it rob's way.. but op never mentioned neither.. so both methods work.. saying mine dont work is ridiculous as it has been done by many members here not just for DRL but for fogs, reverse lights, etc.
