    Hey there,

    I switched all my lights from factory to LEDs, and I've noticed that when I switch between OFF and ON the turn nob runs past the DRL setting on the signal stalk. When this happens, my high beams flash before they go to low beam, and the same thing happens when I turn off my headlights. My DRLs run on high beams..?

    Anyway, if anyone knows how to either switch the DRLs to use the low beams, or a way to just disable the DRLs on the stalk (which I'd prefer not to do), I would greatly appreciate the advice.

    I feel like people think I'm flashing them, but from what I've gotten into there is no way around this...

    Thanks!

    Our DT running lights run on the high beam circuit. I don’t know the terminology, but due to the lower draw of the LED’s, the running lights won’t work properly with LED’s installed (as you’ve learned).

    I think maybe xenon depot(?) sells a modulator that you install in the high beam circuit that allows the LED’s (running lights/high beams) to function properly.

    I’m sure someone else that knows more than I do will chime in here for ya...

    Thank you for the reply. I looked at the DRL modules you mentioned, and I think I'd be better off disabling the DRL feature. Luckily, I was able to find a thread on exactly how to do that without screwing up anything else.
