Converting DRL/Highbeam using HID KIT
I know no one has done it before, or to my knowledge. I'm going to try using a HID kit as the high beam/DRL. I want a bright DRL, but without the yellow color. Most bulbs i have tried are not bright enough, so i'm planning to use a 10,000k HID kit to test it. I'll post results when i receive my HID kit and put it into my car. Feel free to comment. Leave the flaming to my PM which i know some of you would do so.

done it and lost a 2 good kits on the process
I tried this before and in the first case I got flickering and the kit eventually died. the second case was not much better. I eventually decided to go with the highest end PIAA PLASMA SPARK 8000K halogen bulba ($134) from Japan and that worked perfectly for color?HIGH BEAM FUNCTION and lasted months now..

Mind sharing what brand? I was thinking of getting the GP Thunder Pro kit and it claims this:
Note: Most of aftermarket HID Conversion Kits don't work with luxury cars, especially if the cars have a circuit protection computer. To solve the common technical issues which known as suddenly shut down of lights, lights don't turn on, and flicking, GP Thunder Pro HID Kits are special made to work with all luxury car and eliminate the technical issues, the result is perfect and even better and brighter than stock HID lighting found on today's luxury cars.
But since you didn't have any problems with yours I might consider getting that.

Some guy in the 2GS board put HID's where his DRL's are, he got flamed big time, the housing reflects light for hi-beam so putting in a HID bulb to run all the time is just gonna blind ppl everywhere you go if you use it as a DRL...
Wait... didnt you say your DRL's are off??? Keep them that way if you have a HID in there...Turn on your hi-beam and park on the street, now get another car and dive past it/reverse up too it. IF its too bright then you for sure dont want it on for DRL...
I myself never use the hi-beams so the 1watt LED works for me.
