Also do you have highbeams anymore? Cuase i know some bulbs have highbeams built into them... and i dont know if the new civic does....

And if it doesnt did you get a highbeam HID too? or is it pointless since the HID is just as bright

thanks man
The DRL are on a different circiut. They share with the high-beam, not the low beam. HIDs replace your factory low beam. So you won't have to worry about it.

You still have your DRL and high beams. They function the same as stock.. nothing is touched. At night with my HIDs, the high beams still light up the road a little more (but further down and a bit higher up). You do notice a pale light emitted.

Now if you were to replace the high beams with HID's, its a waste of money and you'd have to disable the DRL.


Just to note, if your lights are off, and you wanted to flick your high beams at someone, your low beam HID's would come on.. so don't flick your high beams anymore unless you have your HID's on already. (during daylight)
