ZL1 fiends, I mean friends, I need help with what should be an easy change but I am struggling with it. I ordered the HID kit to replace the DRL's and the fog lights. I installed them and them, the fogs work but I cannot get the DRL's to come on. I have tried reconnecting.

The car has to be in drive for the DRL's to come on.

So easy yet so elusive.

If it is a manual I think they come on when the E-brake is released.

Thanks for the help. I will ask my friend to run in front of the car to see if they are coming on!

Can you post pics when done? What wattage did you go with? I was thinking about doing this for my fog lights since they have projector lenses.

just be aware that if you did a 35W hid kit in the DRL that it may melt the housings over time.
