Where did the "city lights" come from? Was it something you salvaged froma JDM civic, or is it an aftermarket kit?

youll need to purchase a drl relay. then youll just wire the 12v to the low beam so the relay will get power when the low beams are triggered. its not much work at all
So where do you get this DRL relay from? Is it the factory honda DRL relay?

I did a DIY a while ago on how to put city lights into an AP1 housing. I dont know if it was on this site.

Mine turned out great. I have an auxillary small city light bulb in my brights housing. This way, I dont blind anyone with the yellow on. The yellow and the HIDs come on. Obviously, the brights still operate but with a totally seperate bulb. It looks really nice....I can't get a camera to really capture it. Whoever took the picture of me on the track captured it pretty well.

It works great. It lights up the whole brights housing.





I'd be happy to do another DIY if anyone's interested. But if nobody wants to see it, I dont wanna be pissing into the wind lol. Let me know if anyone wants a DIY.
I was going to do it this way at first, but kinda backed away cuz i dont want condensation or water getting into my housing. If you could find your DIY that would be very helpful! Have you had any issues with condensation?
