DRL and High beams
alright so i got a HID kit for my 03 civic and right now i turns on only when it is set to my regular driving lights. my question is there a way to get high beams and DRL on them? and if not, what ways are there?

www.daytime-running-lights.com for the turn signals. looks sweet imo and is really the only alternative for you. hid bulb cant be used as drl or hi beam (unless its bixenon but still cant be used for hi beam). Btw, these are considered REAL drl by nhsta and most insurance give a discount.

Rep Power: 812 automatic how? mine comes on when the car is on. or do you mean light activated? i think thats stupid. and they also have kits than turn on low beams when the car is on.

Rep Power: 0 Not really.....It senses the UV level and determine whether low beam should turn on....Two cases can be use, where (1) ON only when UV level is low and the headlight is at "ON" position, or (2) ON when UV level is low and and the low beam (and parking lights) are turned on no matter where the headlight position is.....I think of sensing UV because no light is sending out UV wave except sunlight...I know there are kits to do it but thinking how to make one.....

Rep Power: 812 oh, i'm not really into that. easier to just turn the switch and i like to be able to decide what to turn on when. the grand am i drove had something like that and i hated it. there was no off mode, only auto and on.

Rep Power: 812 depends. my old catz kit was hi low in stock housing. for the hi beam the bulb would stay the same but just pop back in the housing to shine farther up. worked well too
