Daytime Running Lights Rewire HID

I was wondering if anyone knows how to rewire the HIDs to be on all the time as DRLs without having the rear lights on.

Thanks

If you have a Canadian car that's how it's wired already.

Once you release the handbrake the front DRL's come on but the rears don't light. At least that's how it is on my car ('05 GS).

DRL takes up much less energy from the car than having the front and back lights on. As a Canadian we have to have it on. American cars come without having it on. I just bought an American RX-8 need to do the same thing.

Actually the highbeams come on in a low power state, NOT the HIDs.

you really dont want to wire the hid's to the drl's. that is seriously going to hurt the life of your bulbs and balasts. i would suggest running the high beams like the previous person said.
