Disabling Auto Headlights

yeah i am sure. How would a light that is being reflected off the back housing of the headlight change just because of a different type of a bulb...you do understand how high beams and low beams work on single bulb reflector style housings right? In this argument you are very wrong. And there is absolutly no aiming headlights that glare that badly

Dont disable the dtr lights. It wont ruin the headlights it will just use them all the time. I guess knock more life off them? But if your goal is ultimatly "more light" then why not always have "more light". Since really its just for the ricer image
besides, dtrl's are for safety. their good to have

the saftey of DRL can be debated. If you search online many studies have been done to show they are not safer. So I wouldnt say that they are making the roads safe. Plus most automakers, like GM, have them because in canada they are required to have them. instead of making more than one light system for the same car they just installed them on every model. saves gm money. which apperantly didnt really help them in the long run anyways. lol

Are you mentally retarded? It doesnt matter what kind of bulbs are in your housings... They are all going to reflect the same direction off your reflectors... Unless you have aftermarket projector style housings.Not to be a dick but that is 100% wrong
The characteristics and dimensions of the arcs are completely different..... and will not function properly in a housing not designed specifically for each individual bulb

DRL's run the bulbs at about 60% power... most of the time on high beams... so my guess is thats why he wants to disable them...nope.
Not since 2000 has GM done this on their trucks. In 2000.5 they went to a designated DRL. As far as I knew they've continued this design.

I never said anything about disabling day time running lights. Where the fuck did you get this? I said I want my Auto headlights turned off, nothing else. Also, Why the hell would I need more light during the day, you're playing devils advocate and failing miserably. I'll take my chances in turning off my DRLs if thats what is involved in getting rid of the auro headlights. I usually run my headlights during the day anyways. I am not concerned about my headlight being on during the day, but the fact that they turn on in the accessory position. Then, while cranking, it cuts power as the HID is trying to turn on, then Powers them up again. I asked a pretty reputable source about this who has had to warranty a bunch because of this situation. -
What type of bulbs does your truck have? I will look for a set of good high-output bulbs(not SilverStar junk). Put them in your low and high beams and it will be much more light then stock.
If you want to try and do a OEM HID retrofit. I am more then willing to help. I have wanted to try and do this.
Why not just not use the auto headlights? Pretty sure my Dad's 05 Colorado has the option for auto and manual.

9006 low, 9005 high, not sure whats in the fogs.Read my post above you for answer to auto headlights question. You can turn the auto headlights off after you start the truck. which I don't want to do every time I get in the vehicle.

The auto lights is not what kills HIDs. It is that they get turned on and off multiple times. Regular bulbs have the same problems.
A Selective-Yellow bulb in the fog lights really helps light up the road when its snowy outside.

I have Phillips VersionPlus +30 bulbs in my WRX.

This went horribly off topic, but the points being made are good. For the safety of everyone else on the road, please don't put HID's in non-HID housings.
