Default quick light help!

I'm trying to change my DRL's right now and when I install my new lights they don't go on and they make a huming noise. Anyone know what could be wrong? I'm sure it's something stupid but any help would work!

btw the lights are V-LEDS HID WHITE 3W CREE DRL BULBS HB3 9005

the might be... due to the higher wattage. DRL probably not enough juice to power the up.

do you have both sides plugged in?

you should be fine. Double check the connections and make sure they are tight and not loose.

I should be fine but I don't know whats up. I don't think the buzzing is normal and why is the light only coming on when I put on high beams?

to see if their on, start the car, take off the parking brake, put it in drive, put it back in park without using the parkingbrake, go out and look. the humming you hear is from your hid ballast... you need to start the car to see the drl
