Finally no more running light on my 11 Fx4.
This must have been done before but I thought insharing. I bought a set of spider headlights and had trouble having both light firing when putting in drive (Only DRL) so I went and bought a relay harness to fix the issue. I love the blacked out and I wanted no lightduring daytime so I installed the trigger wire to my park light. Now during day time I have complete black. I thought in sharing but I know this has been discussedbefore.

I will do my best sir me being french lol. After instalin my new HID I had to perchase a relay harness kit because both light wher not firing (bought online for 40$) I went and install the kit like it should be (very easy to do) but when came time to conect the trigger wire to the headlight plug I instead found the park light wire and connect it to it (cut wire and conect to it). So by doing this when i put in drive with switch off the park do not work so they dont trigger the relay to open headlight. So during day time I leave switch off and have no light (please note no tailight also but i dont mind). As soon i hit switch the relay get a 12v shot and open like a charm. 2 other thing i love with this 1st when i hit high beem my HID stay on. 2nd. Becaus HID stay open when on hight beem when i meet another car and take hight beam off my HID are warm so they dont take few second to warm and are instantly. Hope it help. Sorry for my spelling.

Ok, so basically this relay system keeps the headlights from coming on during the day, but because the parking lights come on with the low-beam headlights, it bypasses the whole DRL system and the headlights only come on when the parking lights fire? Do you have a link to the relay you bought?
