    The DRL is the Low which is the HID And i do not know how to disable them. If i take off the DRL would that also disable my lights turning on and off automatically ?

    DRL's operate at a lower voltage than the normal headlights. I think for the 97-03's you have to unplug a wire harness from a load resistor. It's behind the panel on the driver's side dash. I think someone did a write up on that. I'll try to find it.

    I have an '07 GP so I can't really speak for the 97-03 for fact, but I think if you pull that wiring harness off of that heatsink in the dash it disables the DRL's but keeps auto function intact. Anyone with a 97-03 on here that did this?

    still wondering about the relay part or even if i have to do it. And why my side marker and orange light are out for a reason like would the side marker being out make them both out when the driver side are both on when car started and lights full on. ?

    You don't HAVE to do the relay harness, but it will keep your ballasts and bulbs from failing prematurely and would solve any flickering/not lighting problems.

    The sidemarker being out would cause your halo not to work properly since the sidemarker bulb is completing the circuit. I still say you should connect the halo's + to the brown (parking lamp) wire and the halo's [-] to the car's ground, it would solve that problem.
