Got some 6000k HIDs installed - *includes how to disable DRL
Hi guys,
Haven't posted here in awhile, but I recently acquired a set of 6000k HID kit for my low beams. It's a cheaper Chinese kit, but I think it's well worth the money. At least 3-4 times the light output of my previous Eurolight 65w bulbs.
I'm quite happy with it as it only took me 10 mins to install.. totally plug and play. However I did have to disable my DRLs, which also took only 5 mins.
There is an EASIER way to disable the DRLs without ANY relays or soldering/cutting of wires. All it is just bending one pin on the ECU.

This module (known as the Front ECU Module) is under the hood, inside the fuse box, on the driver side. If you're not sure, look in the manual. Remove the Front ECU, and open it carefully using a flat screwdriver. You can "pop" the white snaps on the black metal part (it's a chip cooler) to completely access the pins, and remove the bottom cover (black plastic). Bend the second last (or 1st) of the SMALL pin connector. Re-assemble, and voila!
P.S. Please be careful. And do not sue me if something happens. You're a grown up, assume the consequences. :P "
