DRL only runs on 6V power.
You'd need a HID harness which connects to the battery to get 12V.

If you want to replace your halogen DRLs by HID (Xenon) then you'll need a kit that contains a ballast to power the HID bulbs.

I highly recommend getting an AC ballast and not a DC ballast. The DC ballast is not expensive but you get what you pay for.

LOL -

DRLs are exactly that "daytime." I understand the reasoning behind DRLs, just don't understand why then need to be ultra bright.

They don't. They're not supposed to light up the road, they're supposed to signal others your car is there. Love is blind or something.

No, I don't want to blind other people coming my way.

If you want white temperature like HIDs you should opt for either whither halogens or ideally LEDs, depending on which D2S bulbs you use in your HIDs.


Edit: Sorry misread, turn signals and I was still thinking of DRLs. Same still apply though, halogens or LEDs. Just amber for legality reasons here.

You can put HIDs with a relay. It won't blind people, for US models those are the fog lights anyways. Just check your aiming and you will be fine.
