    I purchased the aftermarket headlights for 5th Gen and DRL flicker when connected to relay. When I connect direct to battery it works okay but no way to turn them off. Is there a upgrade to the relay to carry enough power to run the lights?

    You got just bulbs? If so, What year and what trim. If it's pre-2020 where drl and highbeam share the same bumb you need to buy LED like;
    Xenon Depot LED Pro with drl driver. This is fully plug and play.

    or

    VLED pwm drl highbeam kit. You need to plug into existing 9005 bulbs holder and there is an additional wire to the battery.


    LED kits that doesn't have a pwm drl driver will flicker in DRL mode.

    Or one could go back to factory housings and Halogens for the simplicity and reliability.
