Question about 2012 LED Headlights from Sewell
Hey guys, I just have a question for those of you who have done the 2011/12 headlight upgrade on Canadian IS's.
From what I understand, the LEDs on the Sewell lights operate as the Parking Lights, but our Halogen DRLs also come on when the parking lights are on.
I have seen quite a few Canadian spec cars with the LED Sewell lights, so how did you guys get them to function without the halogen DRLs coming on?
Is it something as simple as removing a fuse, or removing the DRL bulb? I assume we cannot disable the DRLs through programming like in the States.
I tried to read through all the existing threads on these headlights (like Cyberscorp's AWESOME DIY), but most of the responses are from US spec owners, and i have yet to find a clear answer.
Thanks in advance for the help.

i just ended up putting the bulbs in, and not hooking it up so nothing would get in the headlight.
lol but.. i didnt really use my highbeams anyways.
