I have a question about the DRL's with the wire that allows them to be on with the headlights.
I recently added the AAC P13w plasma bulbs with the wires that allow the DRL's to work with the headlights.
Did everyone out there that did this, now have their halos also on during the day when the DRL's are on?

Thanks for the info.
BTW, I like the orange with the white stripes. Interior mods look really nice as well.
Sharp car for sure.
A real head turner.

You got the plasmas, so their is no need to worry about the PCM burning out your bulbs. As far as the halos, yes they will be on. Essentially this is whats going on:

during the day: halos steal power from the DRLs

at night: DRLs steal power from the halos

Thanks for the replies.
They were an excellent addition.
Much better than the junk bulbs GM puts in there.
Not sure why they didn't give us the option from the factory of also running these lights at night like fogs.
