06 civic hids

hi- been on and off the forum for years, and looking to see if anyone has already done this before i start at it.  i just bought a set of low beam and a set of high beam hids for my girlfriends 2006 civic si.  i am an installer (part-time, winter work), and have installed over a dozen of these kits without a hitch.  i wont be doing the install for another month, but while installing a remote start in a 07 civic, i noticed a potential problem with the high beams.  they are single beam- but when driving, the high beams dim down to a daytiime running lights...   hmmm  i think this could be an issue as single beam kits only want to see two things: on and off.

any ideas?  i will try to poke at the car this weekend with a meter and see exactly what voltage the wires put out.    thanks

The issue is with the factory security..... it flashes the headlights when triggered. (NOT good for HID's)

I put a set on my 06. Static in the radio with the lights on.... not cool!  The headlight assembly's are NOT made for HID's... the glare UP, is unreal/

I would suggest a high output bulb using a relay to "turn on" the bulb.

My HID's suck..... it's big work to do the bulbs too.....

You'll see.

ok, so update...   i went ahead and tackled the lights, high and low beam.    i had to take the front bumper off and loosen the fenders to get the housings out (i bet there is an easier way, but no way for me to know on a sat night.)  i found a sweet spot to mount both sets of ballasts,  completely protected by the bumper and far away from any heat source.    the low beams went right in.  i usually run separate fuses and relays straight from battery for each light, but the manufacturer suggested i use them as plug and play  (to prevent any "light out" codes if applicable on vehicle.   the high beams/ daytime running lights (drl's) i decided to use a relay.  i found that it is a single filament bulb, that receives a lower voltage for drl's and 12 volts for high beam.  tested my theory, and found it will only turn on a relay when the high beams are on.  relay stays off at the lesser voltage.  so i went ahead and completed the install...   they seem to work great.    i lost the drl's, but so what.  the low beams seem just perfect.  bright, but not too blinding to oncoming traffic  and the high beams are rediculous - on the highway is like daylight.  ( when high beams are on, both high and low bulbs come on in the car).  

only problem:  when lights are off.... dashboard says "drl" in yellow bold lights.  obviously the car is sensing no current draw from drl's and thinks there is a bulb out.    no big deal, really, but i wanna see if i can try to figure it out.  quite obvious that i can run a bulb under the hood so the computer sees the drl's as working.  but that is silly to me  lol        question  i am asking is:  is there a load resistor i can put that will draw an amp or two?  i bought some for my 90 integra to make the blinkers flash normal with led blinker bulbs.  but the resistors get hot and i dont know if they will burn up or even worse, damage the car.               any honda guys out there have any ideas?    

also-  what was tedmond talking about with a 'retrofit kit"     does he mean new headlight housings or just a projector insert of some sort?   i am not familar with this, please elaborate.  i am not interested in replacing the housings or cutting anything that could fail and leak in the future.                                thanks for looking

also, i have pics, i will post this week when i figure out how to use my new blackberry.

i mean placing a projector inside. a tsx or fx35 projector are the best. but anyways to your problem.

the only way to get rid of that DRL is to purchase an adapter to prevent warning lights. i used them a few times and works. from the 9006 connector, a harness plugs directly into place. im not sure what is inside, since i never intended on opening it. but i only had to use it on civics that gave me issues of the DRL light being on. btw, did you plug and play or use relays for direct current from the battery
