haha! hopefully it's nothing.

well, you know, the first time i did it i mounted the resistor on the side of the chassis facing the engine. that didn't work because it kinda melted that long black plastic piece that goes over the hood latch and car chassis. that's when i switched it to the underside and it's been fine ever since...

Are the high beams/DRL bulbs 9005???

EntropyXIII · 01-31-2008, 12:20 PM

^ yes

idk, after doing Harry's i doing think i would ever to that to mine. not really that important. im still trying to understand the whole multi-plexed light system. thats usually used before a computer, not at the actual light.

arrivalanche · 02-03-2008, 04:51 PM

also, are you all sure that its supposed to be a sandstone resistor and not some other type??

Possible Thread Jack Alert!!!

If you hate having the DRL's on like myself.

2006+ Honda Civic. Simply remove fuse #37 (7.5A) from the INTERIOR fuse box (under the far left side of the dash). Goodbye DRLs. Absolutely NO after-effects (i.e. - idiot lights, etc.). Clean and simple!

...uh ok

chiguywithsi · 02-21-2008, 04:12 AM

hey anyone that has this, when u turn off ur car does the lights go off automatically or do you have to flip that switch everytime

R4DG · 02-21-2008, 01:28 PM

you have to switch it off when you turn off your car

***Adlh29*** · 02-21-2008, 04:46 PM

Make sure to use a high wattage reisitor

Hey EntropyXIII. Are you the one with the black evo? I just recently picked up my 08 si and will prolly try it this weekend! Looks great. oh yeah i also had the BBY Evo VIII.

I am sure there can be a better option than having to run power wires, switches and resistors.

Does anybody have the factory wiring diagram?

Seams like we should be able to tap into, splice together, or just unhook a factory wire pin out....??

I know that on my old VW Golf. We would just use a jumper wire and install second bulbs to have rear foglights work as extra brake lights. Simple and clean.

yeah im sure there is an easier way to do it but i dont know lol. i just saw that people were trying to do this a long time ago so i figured if try something that i thought would work and just stuck with it. but please if anyone else knows an easier way to do it POST IT UP!

i did it n itworks. i got the blac housing angel eyes. 4 my sedan. i m running 8k hid n yellow bulbs 4 the drls. it looks really good so thx 4 the help.

cambodianricer · 04-04-2008, 01:17 AM

couldn't you wire the high beams with the resistor to the low beams so when you turn them on both turn on? I know it'll draw more current but it shouldn't be THAT much? should it?

ari_pol · 05-08-2008, 12:51 AM

I´m sorry guys.. I cannot understand how to get my position light yellow.

Like the picture below...

I want them to stay yellow even when they are off!

Sorry if this post sounds stupid to you, but here in Argentina nobody knows how to do it!!

Thank u anyways
