hi all,
im sorry if this is a very basic question,
i am installing a aftermarker HID kit on a vehicle with daytime running lights.
the hid kit requires a 9-16v input.
vehicles headlights have a power of 12v
the daytime running lights give less than 9 volt, i believe it is 6 volts to the halogen bulb and 12 when headlights are on.
what i want to do is somehow block anything under 10volts from getting to the ballast.
when the daytime running light power is sent to the ballast it causes the headlights to flicker and this will blow the bulbs or ballast quickly.
would adding in a resistor on the positive wire block the power to the ballast if it is less than 10volts?
i am basically attempting to disable the daytime running lights feature.
thank you
