Any news ?

Viper jr ?

Frosty, you will receive your retrofit soon, any news on that ?
I would like to help boost about this, so he knows how he has to build a "canadian relay harness" so everything works properly.

i believe you just add another relay but im not sure if viper has tested yet. i'll ring him this week and ask

Well since the HID's are installed the fogs don't come on when the car starts... The HID's do. Regardless of the headlight switch position.

If the car is off, all the lights function properly (go on and off via the switch)

If I plug in a stock headlight bulb, the fogs come on properly when the car starts and all is good.

I have an adapter which plugs into one of the stock headlight harnesses which is what runs the relay turning on and off the HID's It is only using 2 of the 3 wires for the relay (2 seem to be ground and 1 is power)

I looked in the service manual to see if I could figure out how the DRL's are wired in but it didn't even show the fog light circuit, only the headlights.

Any ideas on how I can fix this issue? It's a real PITA as the HID's come on right when the car has just started and sometimes stalls the car.

Help Please...

Hey Mike you've just described THE SAME EXACT PROBLEM I am having...Mitch ordered a new set for me and getting it replaced this afternoon...his electrical guy feels it's an issue in the relay,from what I gather the new HID kit I am getting will NOT do this.
We'll see this afternoon...I'll let you know how this resolves Mike.

try pulling out fuse #5 on the side panel. i accidentally clicked my hi beamwith a stock bulb and the hid still wired in and the fuse blew. you get lows and fogs but no hi's and drls. with the hids you won't need the hi's anymore at least with mine i never did once i got the hid kit.
