Ive installed the HID kit in my car and i am having alot of trouble with the fuses blowing cause of the daytime running lights. I have heard of a Euro switch that shuts off day time running and ive also herd that if you put electrical tape on pin 17 it will disabe the day time running can any post a pic or a link as to where i can find either of these.
thanks for all the responses in advance.

It really doesn't require a picture.
Pull the headlight switch out (push knob inward, turn to the right, pull).
Disconnect the plug. Look at the pins on the back of the switch.
Near one of them you'll see "TFL". Get a piece of electrical tape, cut
it only as wide as that small pin is wide, and twice as long as the pin is
tall. Wrap the strip of tape over the top of the pin and cover both sides.
Plug the plug back into the headlight switch.
Test it by turning the key on and verify that the DRLs no longer
come on. If it works, plug headlight switch back into dash
and you're done. If not, repeat above steps.

This has nothing to do with US versus Euro switch.
The Euroswitch doesn't disable DRLs. That still has to be done separately.
