DRL Warning Light

I have a 2010 Civic Sport Sedan and I replaced my high-beam and low-beam bulbs with LED that I had brought in from China. All the lights work and the Daytime running light are on, but the DRL warning light is on and kind of flashes intermittently. They are the correct bulbs for my vehicle. (9005 & 9006) The running lights do not weaken in intensity, so the warning is not because the bulbs don't work. Has anyone had this issue? Could it be an in compatibility with the bulbs?

Re: DRL Warning Light

The new bulbs have a different resistance so the computer may think something is wrong when there really isn’t.

I was thinking it might be ok. I was going to ask the next time I was in for an oil change. Maybe they can turn off the warning light. Thanks!

If you think a good mechanic is expensive, try hiring a bad one

Incorrect resistance.
Simplest solution: Put the correct bulbs back in the high beams and warning light will go out.

Maybe they can turn off the warning light
No, the warning light cannot be turned off with a scanner.

You will need something like this to trick the computer.

Not a Helpful ho-to-do it step-by-step article, rather a help me thread.
Moving out of the DIY section.
