[Doug 97 gtp]

I just ordered 10k digital slim hid's fro vvme and i had just one question. my car has the automatic lights and turn on automatically(not daytime running lights)do i have to disable those and if so how do i do that.

Not sure if you have to or not but in the event that you do this is how it's done:
1. Pull the DRL fuse in the fusebox (I did this).
2. Disconnect the little silver heatsink behind the access panel on the driver's side of the dash (there's more info on this if you're interested). I did this before I pulled the fuse, and for what it's worth, I'd say just pull the fuse and be done with the whole DRL/auto headlights thing.

ok i was just curious because alot of people say its bad for the ballast and really bad for the life of the bulbs. thanks

You'll wanna reprogram the car to not flash the lights when you lock, unlock and pop the trunk. You can find this information in your owners manual. You'll know the procedures when you find it. It will have you pull the mall pgm fuse in the fusebox, then turn the car to accessories and hit the unlock? Button on the key fob I think. You will hear a series of dings but you wanna turn the key to the off position when you only hear it ding once. Then you put the fuse back in and make sure it worked.

i dont have a keyless entry so i dont have to worry about that

The twilight (auto on) feature is fine. The DRL does need to go.

[98L36]

^ ^ There 'ya go OP. That's probably the answer you were looking for.

[Doug 97 gtp]

ya it was thanks. do you think it will affect the blubls at6 nigfht because as soon as i turn my key to on my lights are on

[Fatboy501]

I just pulled the DRL fuse altogether. Not like it's hard work turning the headlight switch.

[98L36]

^ ^ This is what I did. At the time I didn't even have HID's but I still preferred to be in charge of my lights.

Besides, no reason driving around with the headlights on in broad daylight when you can rock the parkies.

[Doug 97 gtp]

could i still pull that fuse if i have automatic headlights? (they come on when it starts to get dark)

[twol8uluz]

Ok....I've tried doing this (pilling the drl fuse) on my 02, and it started dinging like crazy! So I put it back in.

[Bronco Boy]

Pulling the fuse on some years doesn't work. You need to unplug the DRL diode, or put a switch on it.

[Scottydoggs]

not sure about the GP's but my 98 regal if you use the e brake, after starting the car, the lights wont turn on till you take off the e brake.

[dpzelenak]

its the same^^

[98L36]

I'd be afraid to touch my e-brake.....rusty cable = not winning *scared*

[Doug 97 gtp]

im gonna try to pull out the fuse to have manual lights.

[Doug 97 gtp]

ya i already did that thanks. and my light work great.

[jteske88]

real quick you dont have any kind of remote entry? i thought i didnt and bought a fob and programmed. all it did was unlock and trunk but if you dont have factory alarm i believe they dont blink

[Doug 97 gtp]

i do have the original key fob but i had to get a new bcm for my car and i would of have to paid 50 bucks to get it reprogrammed but i might do it in the future. and yes if you dont have an alarm system your light wont blink.
