Replace DRL with LED TSX
I am going to replace my day time running lights (Acura TSX 2009) HB3 9005 with the led's below.
Would it be an issue ?

not sure what ur going for, but if you just dont want the DRL to be on but still want your high beams just pull the fuse.

i have LED DRLs.
you need a set of resistors....iJDMtoy sells some. search on acura on that site.
FYI: the tsx turns down the volts on the high beam for the drl. that means your LEDs will also get that amount of voltage. it all works. the issue I had was I wasnt happy with the output of the LEDs in bright sun at 6 volts. couldnt see them.
i added a vleds drl module that makes the 6 volts back to 12 volts. had to add a relay to make it all happy.
and to offset the lack of high beams I put HIDs in my fogs and those are now my high beams when i need them. and to be clear...i have a Hi Beam light its just a LED that isnt nearly as bright as a normal high beam.

Do using resistor cause overall harm to the wires or to the car. I don't want to risk burning any wires.
Thx
