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?

 

US vechicles dont have DRL...

 

that could be the reason why, to be honest I'm not to sure

 

yes.. US vechicles doesn't have DRL..

 

ok thanks guys

 

Are the headlights not the same????

I always thought so.......

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

 

Wanna do a write up ??? I've been looking for a conversion for the longest time, just waiting for a good DIY guide...

 

pop the hood, get a hammer then proceed to hammer your own lights. Once everything is broken take it out with alot of force since it won't matter anyways. Remember to unscrew the screw first

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

 

Too much detail, I got lost.

Currently holding hammer....not sure what to do.

Cliff notes to your excellent DIY please

 

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.

 

Ive done the conversion on a few headlights if your still looking to get it done let me know

worked for me

 

Which wiring are you using? the Wiring harness that came with the 06 lights or are you still using your previous wiring?

 

i just plugged the new lights in where the old lights were plugged in

not sure where the wiring harness ..... if it's attached to the headlight then i'm using the one that came with the 06

 

i'd try the old wiring harness... i'm 99% sure DRLs will work, that was the case for my civic
