Our 08/09 Lancers have Daytime Running Lights. "The DRL signal is NOT a constant DC (6V, 9V, etc.) but rather a square waveform peaking at 14VDC and a frequency of about 60Hz (this is better for the bulb longevity than running them at 6V)" If you run a set of HID's in the Lancers, the DRL's will cause your HID lights to flicker. Now to avoid the flicker, you can have your lights ON all the time. OR, you can simply BYPASS the DRL's. There are several ways to "BYPASS" the DRL's--which may include splicing the wiring harness. Some people would rather not splice or interfere with the OEM wiring, so THIS DRL Bypass w/ Relay Harness acts as another option. It is completely plug & play; NO splicing.This DRL Bypass w/ Relay Harness serves as two things: 1) DRL bypass (eliminate) .. 2) Standard Relay Harness for HID's
Installing this DRL Bypass w/ Relay Harness simply eliminates the DRL's. This does not alter any other functions. By position indicators, do you mean turn signals? If so, then yes, they work as usual as they should since no other functions are changed. I'm not so sure what you mean about auto low beam.Do you have the HID projector or non-HID headlights?
I have the simple halogen lamb headlights with deflectors, not projectors, and I am considering of replace them with projectors and HID's. When I am saying position indicators, I mean the small lambs at the edge of the headlights. And the auto low beam is the position for turning the low beam or DRL on/off automatically, when you drive from lightful to dark places of the opposite..
Does your car have an auto on/off headlights? Over here in the US we didn't get that feature until recently on the new Touring Package for the 2009+ GTS which already comes with HIDs.
^Thanks for the info. I guess I have to get to 50 posts before I can even see/use the marketplace, lol.All PM's replied.
I see you everywhere, I swear. You on ISS aren't you? The day I bought my Lancer, I went on this Mitsu forum, forgot what and you were selling your CF hood cause your parents wouldn't let you keep it right? It looked tough though.
Can you guys tell me if this comes with the relay harness or not?
Question, if I were to order an HID kit, it comes with a Relay Harness, wouldn't that be the same as the harness you have here?I was looking at it, and they are almost identical.For example, K Nguyen's kit above has a relay harness, wouldn't that allow him to bypass his DRL's already?
the relay harness just lets ur lights stay on 24/7 without flickers.. the relay harness / drl bypass .. bypasses the DRL.. lol
(23:51:52) hmoobher: I think thul is jealous because he's not as dope as bench
just got it today. install was pretty easy except i dont know who put my car together but all the bolts and nuts are extremely tight and i couldnt get enough leverage to unscrew the ground screws where you showed them so i used other ones. other than that works great and thanks for the product. oh just one question though when my car is not started but it is in on position i hear a sound coming from somewhere near the battery, sort of like humming is that normal?
can we do a payment plan? =D
No sorry. I can only take the payment in full.
how aboutttti pay you 3/4sthen when i get the product ill pay the rest?
I agree, works perfect, just wish the wire was longer
I did, obviously
wish the wire was longer
i have this. had no problems what so ever...i just think using only one ballast is very safe? and would shorten the life of the ballast?
i spoke with him over a week and a half ago and said he was sold out and he was busy qwith finals and everything so idk i havent heard back from him since then either
just rub it in lol
Its been 2months and the DRL Bypass w/ Relay Harness is working great thanks jrox
where is jrox?i need a set, and i have sent him 2 PMs, but the fool has not replied back!!!
2 Posts back **Please Note: I will be going out of the country for vacation December 25 - January 13He just got home and settled in. Give him until like next week, plus he will need to make more.
thank you for the update. i know i'm being impatient, but i just bought a set of Philips HID, and i don't want to install them without this wiring harness.
Yea, no problem. I know the feeling! I have stuff sitting in a bin waiting for a warm day for me to install onto my car... It sucks looking at this nice stuff and realising it's about 30 or lower outside and too cold to work
Thanks jRox Keep up the good work!
Hey ahh... I have the auto lights on my car, the ones that come on when it gets dark... Just wondering, does this mean i do not have DRL's? Cos I have no idea lol... and I was going to get some HIDs but i want to confirm this first.
Reading two days now about DRL bypass, I figured this out. We don't need DRL bypass here in Greece, since our Lancers are not equipped with DRL's. We have the auto on/off feature instead of DRL's.
hey jrox whats so different about your relay harness and the one from ddm tuning? they do the ame thing correct?
Jrox ,, i want one just one problem , this damm snowstorm , will be in touch so we can meet by this weekend
thanks , we got about 12-18" here so far more coming.
I dont know if any one is having a problem but this happen to me like five times already. When i turn on my car and turn on my low beam my hids dont turn on. Dont get me wrong the bypass does its job. I have to switch it on and off a couple of times to turn but nothing. Then i just drive off with my highs and they come on. They also had turn on and off while i was driving @ night 3 times in a row. So not sure wuts the problem the hids are working fine and so is the bypass/relay harness. Think it could be the computer having a glitch.
Make sure all connections, including the 2 grounds on the bypass, are setup correctly. Also try connecting the HIDs directly to the cars OEM sources. Then turn the car on and see if the HIDs turn on with no problems. There is also a fuse in the Bypass but if it is working sometimes but not others it is not the fuse.
You are awesome! You always answer everyone's questions in my thread. Memphiles, it sounds like you may have an intermittent connection. First, check the fuse (located on the red power cable). Then, make sure all your plugs are correctly seated. After, check to see that both grounds are properly bolted. You can also follow bluegts09's advice to help isolate the problem.
i received my drl bypass. very fast shipping. i cant wait to install everything. thanks jrox
pmd.
im thinking of getting these but are DRLs like lights i cant just take out? lol like remove bulb? or are they the same as those meduim beams like the ones you get after you turn that lever on the left of the sterring wheel? are they the same bulbs only after you turn lever it hards more electricity to get the brighter light?
thats gay.. i gots no money to get these but man you get great rep on here of them working and i would choose yours over any i see at store or anit flicks kits but i hate it that i cant cant these if i get hids =( theres no point in getting HIDs if i cant have this youve done a great job tho jrox keep it up forreal
Thanks man. I've been serving the 2008+ Lancer community for nearly a year now. You can still run HID's. You'll just have to keep them ON 24/7 to avoid the HID flicker.
How many left jrox? :-)
If i drive with my lights on all the time anyways, do i have to still worry about flicker? I plan on having my lights on every time i drive. Thanks1
Yo jrox Idk Wats wrong woth mine Idk if its plugged in right but drls still on man n the black box attached makes a really loud rattlying noise.. the passenger side mainly where idk if its plugged in right Thx
Will be contacting you in the next month or so!
I might be needing a bypass soon. I was informed about these HIDs from DDMTUNING, and plan to get them probably next month. Will the 35w 8000k kit work fine with your bypass?
The majority of those who purchased from me, have/had DDM Tuning HID's. It should work no problem.
awesome! thanks for the reply. And just one more question, I only need the bypass for the lowbeams correct? I wont need one for the High beams or fogs right?
well i installed the ddmtuning hid kit with jrox relay harness and everything is working perfect. the lights look amazing. best money ive spent on the car so far.
Hey Jrox, my buddy here bought an outlander 2010. Can he also use your DRL Bypass?
ok i will let him know. btw, my DRL is having this problem. is it normal that sometimes the right side will not turn on, but when i turn it off and turn it back on it will turn on?
I installed my Harness and it works great!! Thanks jRox
After providing the DRL Bypass for over a year now, I've decided to offer it at a lower cost.Original Price: $60 shipped*REDUCED Price: $45 shippedI've also changed my Return/Exchange Policy:*Return/Exchange:Void after 30 days from date of delivery. Void if the DRL bypass is tampered in anyway. I will know, I made it.Valid only for defected/faulty products.If it's been over 30 days since date of delivery, I can offer a repair service. Contact me for more info.You can now purchase my DRL Bypass through Ebay. I recently found out someone also began to provide the DRL Bypass on Ebay. If you check out his ad, you'll see that he made no effort to describe his own and virtually copied my description of this product. Please show your support by purchasing my DRL Bypass as I've been serving the Lancer community for over a year.Thank you for all your past/present/future support! It's been a pleasure to serve you all.All transactions will now take place via Ebay:http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=180515038976#ht_2047wt_1165
You'll be getting a purchase from me very shortly. Like next week when I get paid!
Thank you very much, this has changed my decision and i will be purchasing asap...one question though, if i buy a kit from ddm tuning and this bypass is that ALL i will need for the installation?
hey there ppl selling relay harness. so my question is that the same as your but you added the drl bypass? and what is the difference?
Jrox, will it work with my 55w hid kits 9006?
I am looking at dropping in an HID setup and would love to know where to get this DRL bypass. I just need the info on where to go so i can order it?
It's easy , PM Jrox ^ , He will get back to you and tell you details , He makes them , very high quality , tests each one prior to shipping and works great. These are not the same as crappy one's on e-bay ( unless its Jrox's ad on e-bay,lol)
Hi Jrox,For your DRL bypass does it have the capability to provide a control signal that would be active when DRLs would normally be active that could be utilized to a relay or switch to another circuit to control alternate lights to the DRL (such as wiring in Angel eyes or LEDs, etc.)?
I understand that the regular plug would still provide the DRL signal however that same plug would provide the headlight-on signal as well when its engaged (full power).I'm a computer engineer myself and have a rough idea of how you're separating/suppressing the DRL signal however I was just wondering if you've done it in such a way where that signal itself or an indicative signal could be isolated to a separate lead from your circuit?
I got a buddy that needs one, I'll let you know
I'm still interested in getting one of these from you, just need to wait til funds allow it. Had unexpected expenses come up recently, thus delaying my plans to get HIDs on my lancer.
^^ fury, is that pinned anywhere? it should be pinned in the Knowledge Base. alot of people will need that, including me if i ever decide to get the led tails.
This bypass is really neat but I am looking for something else. In position 0 with your bypass, the DRLs are off, where I live it's the law to have working full time DRLs, is there anything you could provide jrox or does anyone know of any type of fix that would work so that once I turn my car on, my HIDs are on aswell?Also, I got an issue with my LED tail lights where the lights on the trunk are not on but the ones on the body are. And some of you may know this also has an affect on the cruise control. Golyadkin suggested swithing a red and black wire a little up the harness, I tried it on one side and it never changed anything and on the other side I never saw a red and black wire.Thanks
Jrox im goin to need another drl bypass kinda bended one of the female part with my hood and cant reshape it back to normal so nothing fits now :/
Also one more thing i had mines for months and this happen a while back that my hids wont turn on when they are on the on position and i had the bypass for months. But the ballast and bulbs r fine? Any ideas what it could be??
Can you take a pic of the female plug? It could possible be fixed with a set of pliers or simply a replacement female plug.Hey JRox yea it did work with a pair of pliers Sounds like you blew the fuse. Check the fuse located on the red power cable. A replacement fuse can either be 20A or 25A.
You mean the fuse box inside the cabin right??......
Believe he's talking about one on bypass power lead
I just installed the harness tonight and must say that it is extremely easy. It only took about five minutes and it works perfectly! Thanks jRox for this simple but awesome mod.
So aside from the DRL Bypass, and HID's from DDM do we need their error code eliminator or no?on the side note... i want to get 35w 6000k's for both fogs and lows... only cuz i dont want the shades of light to be different if i got 55w for lows and 35 for fogs anyone care to shed some light on that?
No we dont need the error code eliminator just jrox harnessAnd u gunna see the difference of shade of light between ur lows and fogs. Also for the fogs u gunna have to plug it in backwards to the ballast they seem to have the wires on the wrong side.
Sweet! Thanks for the help!Another thing that I wanted to know, do I need to do something with the housing? Or getting it retro fitted?
Alright sounds like I'm set then.Some people told me that i needed projector headlights in order to run them legally in Texas and I'm not sure if i need them or not...I've looked some up and the only one they had for sell was the one by SPEC-D Tuning going for $899.99
BUMP For Saturday!JRox, I just bought your bypass on Ebay and I do hope it's going to work swell with my hid kit from ddm. ;-)
Plenty of customers also use DDM HID kits. It should work no problem. Your order will be shipped tomorrow.
Quick question.55w 9006, 6000k hid kit will make it look like stock infiniti/acura/bmw have and what not?I'm talking about the color (6000k). :-)
So, I just received my DRL bypass. I noticed that it didn't come with the red cable (power +), only two black cables (ground -). Will it still work like this?Edit: I just got confused, is all. I got up and running now.
