Thanks.
to remove the day time running lights is a fuse in the cabin. most cars have two fuse boxes. one in engine bay and other in the car cabin. you just have locate the fuse box under the steering wheel. then take out the drl fuse. i think its 31 but i may be wrong. if you dont take the fuse out the hids wont work and would just flicker like strobe lights.

its basically like the relay. from what i heard, if you keep the drl in and move the car (cause when you put the car in drive the drl turns on) the lights will start flashin like stobe lights. my friend tried it on the crv and it has drl also and the lights were going crazy.

hmmm... i have an 06 Si w/DRLs and i didn't have this problem... and neither did anyone else with a Civic... strange how it would be different from the Accord...

what did you do to your car it is a plugand play kit plug the bulb to the box and the stock harness to the box and light are on. no removing of anything no fuse no relay nothing.

DRL could interfere with the HID kit if you do not use the relay.. I have my bulbs into the headlight and power from the regular wire into my ballast, (short term: did not use H11 relay). i also unplugged my DRL, just in case theres voltage interference with my HID wire.. need to get relay soon...
