Ok so what your saying is that then the drl is on... The relay is still off making it a drl delete? But when turning on the headlight it turns on the parking light which powers up the relay and turn on the low beam lights?

The intensehid.com website also has a anti flicker relay.
"The flicker harness or other might call it the BMW/Mercedes Benz harness is known to get rid of the flickering issues or headlamp error light issue. This issue is known on most European cars (BMW/BENZ/AUDI) and now it is occur on some American cars (CHRYSLER/DODGE/JEEP). The reason behind this is due to halogen bulb being 55W and HID being 35W. Therefore, when an HID kit is installed into the vehicle, the car ECU detect the lights running at 35W instead of the normal 55W. Two things will happen when it detect this. 1. When running at 35W, the ECU thinks the light bulb on one side is broken and cut down on the power it sends to the headlight, causing the HID to flicker because there is not enough power. 2. It will cause a headlight error light on the dash because it think 1 side of the headlight is broken. One or both of these issue will occur. The flicker harness will plug inline with the ballast (Plug and Play harness). The flicker harness will trick the ECU into thinking the HID is running at 55W, when it is really running at 35W. This will trick the ECU into thinking that both side of the headlights are working fine and will allow the ECU to give the headlights full power to run properly, which will get rid of the flickering issue and error light issue. This harness is safe and will not damage any ECU or electrical wiring."
does anyone have experience with this?

Ok here you all go
First video is without the adapters , just turned car on with ebrake up , then took ebrake off for the Drl to activate .

Then again with the adapters in the car just turned on letting off the ebrake .

You can tell that there is nothing extra connected like a relay , it is all plug and play with the factory harness !
