Since when did USDM Civics ('92-00) have DRLs? If it is aftermarket, ditch the DRLs and get a decent set of halogen bulbs. Most aftermarket HID kits are JUNK.

You mean "CITY lights". It is not the same as DRLs.

doubt it. I'm leaning towards wrong terminology.

canadian models all come with DRLs as far as I know.

Just install the HID kit. Whether you have DRLs or not. If you have DRLs and you install the kit then your DRLs wont work (unless you install a HID kit that has DRLs with it)

Cars designated for sale/use in Canada have DRLs. Your hatchback along with 99% of everyone else's was made in Canada....to be sold/driven in US.
