Guys I'm installing KWD with realy kit. Problem is that my DRLs don't turn on anymore. This what I tried. Instuctions say to "disable DRLs" (I'm not sure what that means I'm assuming to have them running at full power) I connected white cable from relay to orange with blue stripe wire on driver side turn signal but that didn't work. I also tried connecting that white wire to colored wire on the car's original low bean headlight plug but that makes the relay make loud buzzing noise. What am I doing wrong? How and where do I connect that white wire from relay to have DRLs ON all the time at full power? Other than that lights light up. Also something that is not shown in instructions two calbles from relay that connect to the red connector on ballasts have black i'm assuming "Ground wire" so I grounded them to metal. There are 4 in total grounded wires correct?
Thanks guys.

disable drl's = drls don't turn on anymore.

what year is your car?
the relay likely disables DRLs (as in you don't have DRLs)

From what I gather after reading some threads, since you don't want your drls and hids on at the same time, you have to disable your drls. This is necessary for proper functioning.
If you want drls, you can always route your highbeams or fogs to act as drls.

I have '06 and I thought that by what they say "disabling" they would simply run at full power like headlights... I guess I was wrong.

guys do you know where to buy those Relays ? I have 04 Mazda3 and when i start my car my HIDs flicker for some time as if they try to start in DRL but they won't. After this my lowbeams won't start at all unless I turn off and turn on the car again using parking brakes (I guess they disable DRLs )
I cannot drive always parking brakes on and this becomes stupid for me. I am thinking of buying the relay (and so I ask you guys where to buy them) and put the relay with the DRL
also I have angel eyes installed and I guess I can connect DRL to angel eyes to use HIDs always. Any ideas of how to do this ?
like some instruction or something?
