Default unhooking drls?

so i just bought projectors, ballasts and bulb relay harness and when i hooked up everything the projector lights flickered. i remember that we have drl low beams is this is causing the flicker? If so i hate drls anyway is there a way to remove them?

are you talking about HID's? projectors are a type of light housing. projectors come stock on 08-10'. if your HID kit is just flickering upon start up, that's normal. but if it's flickering continuously when you have it on for a while, then check your connections and make sure everything is tight.

yea i know that we dont have drls that was a mistake i meant the parking light that stays on even when your lights are turned off there basically drls... Anyways i hooked it up to what i thought was the low beam connection it was a redish orangeish cable connector that snaps on to relay harness i bought. Can any one take a pic of the low beam harness connector thing that im supposed to hook the relay harness up to? theres only two i believe theres a black one and the redish one i talked about right?

If your lights are turned off, no lights on the vehicle are on. Not even the side parking lights. Like said before, it sounds like you have a bad ballast.
