DRL Error Code

[SiEnthusiast]

Hey guys and gals,
Getting an error code since installing my LED DRL/Hi-beams. Probably due to them using so much less power than the halogens, which probably tricks the computer.
I get it while driving during the day when the DRL's are on, and as soon as the low beams turn on at night it turns off. When i flash the highbeams get no problems either.

Was wondering if anyone knew what i needed to buy or do to make this error go away? I know they sell these type of things, just not sure what i'm looking for.

The other question i wanted to ask is... IS there any way to make the DRL LED, as bright as when i flash my hi-beams. The DRL's look nice but i think it would be nicer if i could have them be brighter. The LED's dont really provide any light output, its just more of a cosmetical thing.

I wasn't aware of this issue, but I see there are videos on youtube showing 8thgen owners getting an error

Here's a link to some LED DRL bulbs for Honda/Acura from Ijdmtoy. You can either run this type of setup with the DRL decoder module or you can search on other sites for bulbs that are listed as CANBUS or CANBUS Error Free. I think the ones labeled CANBUS have a resistor built in so the car thinks they are drawing the right amount of power

What i need seems to be those decoders. Need to get in contact with them and order up a pair, their LED's are way overpriced though.

I have the LED's I bought off of Kplaygrounds website and I too get this "Check DRL" on my i-Mid, but I'm not stressing out about it. I just hit the i-Mid button as soon as it comes on to hide it from my screen and ignore it.
