please help DRL removal, signal light flickering fast

Currently i have angle eyes installed on my 2008 Acura TL, my car is a Canadian car and comes stock with DRL'S. I decided to leave my DRL light bulbs unplugged to stay with the desired look. With doing so my driver side turn signals blink really fast.

My question is there anything i can do or buy (for instance a resistor) to plug into the light bulb harness to avoid the fast blinker lights.

Thanks

Did you check your turn signal bulbs to make sure one of them is not burnt out? Check both sides, front and back.

Maybe, maybe not.
Usually, the hyperflash activates when the car senses a drop in electrical resistance (or increase? I'm no electrical engineer) indicating a blown bulb somewhere in the turn signal circuit.
Check all of your bulbs. If they are all working, plug the DRLs back in to see if that cures it. If it does, I would say you need some resistors on the circuit somewhere.

Does anyone knows how many voltage our DRL uses? Because I tried to change my DRL with a 8000K 9005 18-LED bulbs, but it just barely light up. Do you guy think I need a relay?

The newer TL's have the DRL's running at I think 75% Somewhere around here there is a thread about it, yes it is a very low voltage.
