having done all that kinda stuff before... i can only encourage you to save your time (go work over time at work or something to make up for it) and instead of wasting more time and money trying to fix it, just pay a local to do the install how you want or mod. if neccessary.

there are plenty of guys advertising installed HID's for under 200 on craigslist, I cant advocate if they do good work or not, but sometimes....learning something new is better reserved for another day

Have you looked into the HID Anti-Flicker modules? They are plug and play harness and are supposed to eliminate the flicker caused by DRL's. I haven't used them myself but on other forums I belong to they seem to do the trick. Maybe see if the maker of your HID kit has their own brand of module.

My HID's are all ready installed and running fine...
I don't want more HIDs installed
I don't want my HIDs on at all in DRL mode.
I want to kill DRL from coming out my current light fixtures so I can install separate DRLS.

Have you repaired this yet.. I bought the LED head lamp and got rid of the HiD units. found the DTL work just as good with the OEM bulds. Led uses less voltage to run so the low voltage that the DRL module will not effect the performance of the LED head lamp.
