Default Hid low beam problem .. Help

Hey guys , so here's my problem .. After I turn my low beams on they automticly shut off after about 10 seconds

This problem started occuring after I put in. 68 smd led DRLs with no moduals ...
So I thot that the flickering is maybe why it does this

So I went and bought. Moduals from Vleds
And still the same problem now , with no flickering tho for my drls

Can anyone tell me what's the problem , and how to fix this ...

That was happening to me when i replaced my low beams. Turned out i had the wrong bulb. Did you replace your low beams or just Drls?

Thats wierd. I did my lows and DRLS together. Drls worked perfect, but my low beams would go on, then shut off. They were blueish 8000k looking to looked hella ricey. My shop said it was the wrong bulb and they got me new DRLS as well becuase one of my old DRLs started to flicker. Now my low beams are 6000k, but have a light purple tint to them and my DRLS are bright white with no flickering (newer set, my old drls, my shop had to grind down the plastic to get them to fit. These ones fit perfectly, no grinding). Its really weird though becuase the same thing happened to me. Try putting your Stock DRLS to see if the problem persists. If it is, maybe the DRLS arnt getting along with the low beams, if that makes any seance. Just my guess.
