Did you disable the DRLs properly?

That's what I would be looking into.

what u need to do is on the blue plug that connects to the factory harness switch the white wire with the blue wire. or maybe the white with the brownish. they are back wards starte with the white n blue switch. we just did this i just not sure which wire white switches with its holding the circuit open so u have the highs on lock. the company they all buy the harness from has it backwards. two min deal will work.

yeah you have the wrong end of the wire grounded. ground the other end and no more brights-issue.

Yep. It's not anything you did. J-bodies are just gay like that and the two wires need to be switched around

Order HID's for 9007 headlights, and there you go.

hids are based off the bulb, not the car...

i disabled my DRLs by changing the country in my BCM from US to Mexico... (which gave me two additional RPOs i could enable)

i'd one day like to get the DRLs to work again... but trying to figure out the low resistance code and repairing it has proven to be a pain in the ass...

go to a chevy dealer and borrow their Tech 2 Scanner, plug it in, and go to the body control module and set it to Mexico.

it disables DRLs without having to cutting and splicing and grounding wires it also gives you two additional RPO Code options, i do not know what they are though..

You don't search for HIDs based on your car... search for them based on the bulb... now if you've never replaced your headlight bulbs before, you'll have a hard time putting in HIDs...

9007 is the bulb your car takes... most HID companies want to know 1) What type of bulb? Answer: 9007 . 2) What intensity? Answer: (3k, 5k, 8k, 10k, 12k)

thats it... they are completely universal at that point, as long as you get the size bulb that fits in your head light housing.... Its like going to the part store to buy a replacement headlight... you don't go to shelf and look for bulbs labeled cavalier... you find out that your bulbs are 9007, and go to the shelf looking for a 9007 bulb.
