If they are Bi-Xenons they will have a relay that changes them from high to low beam. The main problem will be that the HID ballast is not designed to operate on low voltage and the ballast will buzz as well.

The best solution would be to purchase the AEV Procal and change your headlights from being the DRL's to either the fogs or the front markers.

Can the ProCal be used on 2 Jeeps at the same time, the Flashpaq won't allow that. My friend has a ProCal so I'm wondering if I could borrow it and set my DRL.

Then again it probably wont work with my Flashpaq settings simultaneously, it'll probably f**k up the CPU.

Is the any other way to change your DRL?

No the ProCal is tied to one JK at a time.
