I installed HID's on My 99 Xtreme, But they come on with the ignition, They also function with the light switch if the ignition is off. I unplugged the DRL Relay, but it still does it, When I set the E-brake they will turn off, Thats why I figure it has something to do with the DRL circuit. Any one have any ideas, I don't want to burn my truck down just yet. My haynes manual jsut has the wiring diagram for the 94-97 trucks(other models similar--->BS) Thank You for your help

If you hit the dome overide button 4 times that should cut out the daytime running lights. I have a 2000 X. Don't know if this is what you were looking for.

having an xtreme makes no difference but normally the headlights dont pop on when you turn on the car or go on battery power and the e-brake is set, they will turn on if the sensor (AHL) senses its dark out and you even turn the key to battery power and the same goes for the lights will switch on when on battery power...dunno if it helps but it may ...also im not a expert but if they just switch on even with no key in the ignition maybe you somehow wired into a constantly hot wire n they always have power to them...

I have a 92. I did a HID conversion, and the lights are backwards, as far as high beam, low beam go. I have to run high beam on for low and low beam for high. I'm hoping a new set of bulbs will fix the problem. Maybe you can try new bulbs.

I just got a set of hids for my 2000 X and I'm having the same pproblem. The hids come on with the drls. Basically they are always on. Then, not really a problem, the low beams stay on when I turn on the high beams. Will this also happen with a 2003 Silverado?

I wired a set of relays up, they will come on with the headlight switch now, but won't turn off until I shut off the ignition. Unless its really cold out, then they work just fine with the switch. MAybe it'll burn down and I get a new truck out of it.

i dont think what Extremefour said to do will work on your truck. I think the dome over ride trick only works for 2000-up dimes. I tried it in my friends 99 and it didnt work, my 2000 does it. Anyone correct me if i'm wrong.....

I would like to keep my drls, but if the only thing to do is the override, I guess I'm stuck.

 

[lowsdime]

its due to a lack of resistance...i just keep the headlight switch on during the day...ive done this for 2 years no problems at all...

 

[WhiteXtremeSS]

Is there anyway to add some resistance so that they are not always on?

 

[lowsdime]

not that i know of...pm orangesonoma...tell him i sent ya...he may say to use a relay but im not sure if it will work...

Also there is a switch on the emergency brake it controls the auto lights on . I removed the wire and grounded it. The downside e-brake light stays on and you have to turn your headlights on and off. When it gets warmer I am going to do some more research on the switch.

I've been thinking about hid'S but after reading this thread and others like it I'm about to change my mind. Does this problem happen on every s10 hid install or is it some kits and some installs?

do they stay on when you turn of the drls by pushing the button 4 times?
