Yeah sorry F3rm1n is correct, a wire harness should correct the flickering problem. I had mine installed at a local shop and it was easier to just wire the DRLs to run 100% all the time. Try switching your lights to the Auto setting that way you dont have to turn your lights on and off...i know...too much work lol

What kind of HID set did you get?
I got the Raptor ballasts with the Hi/Lo bulbs, that includes the relay harness; installed myself in about 30-45 minutes, checking every step to make sure all was right.

As Chad1972 said, US truck do not have DRL enabled by default.
If you would like the turn signals as DRLs, check this post:

I installed mine a couple months ago and they work great.

I just did the exact same update. DDM 5000k hi/lo headlights and fogs. The kit should have come with a wiring harness and relay for the headlights that provides power direct from the battery to avoid any flickering with daytime running lights. The kit is plug and play, very easy to put in.
