Installed 06 headlights now no DRL
Hey guys,
I just installed 06 headlights in my 05 Z and when I turn the car on, there's no DRL.
I bought the lights from someone in the US, is that the reason why?

You want to send a PM to IvoryGT over the G35Driver. He's the headlight expert and will be able to help you out.

Yea I kinda knew that US headlights didn't have DRL but I thought that changing to 06 headlights was only changing the housing and that it wouldn't affect the DRL on the car.
Thanks lowrider, I'll PM IvoryGT to get some more info

put on your new lights then screw the screw back on.

You wouldn't want DRL with the 06+ headlights because it will be the same as your low beam. That means your HID will always be on once you release the parking brake.
I have been trying to find out how to disable the DRL on a Canadian 06+ Z because I don't like my HID to be always on and I have no control over it.
But so far, I don't think anyone can do it yet.
