daytime running lights question

So i put in the HID kit but when the DRL comes on, the lights flicker. So I'm thinking of Instead of them working on the Low-Beams, How about rewiring them to Work on the High-Beams instead, but im thinking of how i would get it to work, Lows will turn on as DRL and then turn on when you turn on the lights, Im thinking that when i rewire them to the highs, when i turn on my lights the Highs will come on, so thinking of ways to get around this, any ideas guys???

Disable the DRL. They'll shorten the life of your HID.

There are several threads on this, search the forum for DRL or HID.

I did exactly that, but that's a major undertaking. Give me a shout if you want more details.

Another option is to route DRL to the fogs. But if you want to actually retro a controllable factory fogs, that's no small job either.
