Disclaimer: ***Any type of modification of your car's electrical system is dangerous and may result in personal injury and/or damage to your vehicle. When purchasing this product, you assume full responsibility and potential risks in running this DRL Bypass w/ Relay Harness.***

*Vehicle Compatibility:
2008-2010 Lancer including all models: DE, ES, GTS, RA, Evo X (ONLY non-SSS halogen headlights)
2007-2010 Outlander
2006-2007 Galant

*This DRL Bypass w/ Relay Harness is also 100% compatible with Stock OEM Lights. This means Aftermarket HID's are NOT required to utilize this DRL Bypass.


The DRL Bypass will simply eliminate the DRL's. Therefore, no flickering is present when running HID's. The DRL Bypass w/ Relay Harness is completely 100% Plug & Play and requires no splicing of the OEM wiring or messing with the fuse box; Thus saving you from any warranty issues and/or headaches. With the DRL Bypass properly installed, all lights will assume standard normal function:

Position 0 - All lights OFF, DRL's OFF
Position 1 - Parking Lights ON, DRL's OFF
Position 2 - Parking Lights ON, Low Beams ON

Here's a video demonstrating the function of the DRL Bypasses that I provide:

DRL Bypass w/ Relay Harness:




The DRL Bypass shown may vary slightly (i.e. 1 ground or 2 grounds). However, they will provide the same function.

I can assure you that you will be buying a DRL Bypass with a quality build as I am currently pursuing a career as an Electrical Engineer in NJIT.

For your convenience as the customer, I test each DRL Bypass individually before I ship them out to confirm its 100% working order.

Installation Instructions: http://projectlancer.info/Howtos/DLRInstructions.pdf

I personally have been running this setup DRL Bypass w/ Relay Harness since March 12, 2009, with no issues/problems. I've also sold over 300 sets across other Mitsubishi/Lancer forum boards.


Feel free to contact me if you have any questions. Thank you for your interest!

Excellent article! But, if I have a complete HID's set, won't it contain this equipment? And even if it does't, won't a car's electrician know what to do, so the HID's work properly? And somethind else.. Why do I need a DRL bypass and a relay harness?

[jRox]

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

+1 for the great information. By the way, the position indicators and auto low beam work as usual, don't they?

[jRox]

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.

[jRox]

^Ahh I see. Thanks for clearing that up.

We don't have the feature, so I wouldn't be able to tell you if the auto low beam will work. However, I do know that the signal indicators (small lamps at the edge of the headlights aka parking lights) will work. You can see them working as they should in my clip.

Are you serius?   No auto on/off headlights until now? Very useful feature and we have it standard here in Greece since the 2008 9th Lancers.. Of course, we don't have other features like sunroof (can you think about it? no sunroof in sunny Greece..  ), projector headlights except Evolution.. Unexceptable! And we still wait for Ralliart..  

[kleanthis]

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.

Lucky Greece Lancer owners! Thats the only thing i hate about my lancer is the DRL's . How could i buy one of these relays from you?

[K Nguyen]

someone is selling this in the marketplace for cheaper price if you got the relay harness.

[jRox]

^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.

[MiserTwo]

Yeah i guess i have to get 50 post too. I'm just gana comment every post with a " " lol
