the easiest solution is to simply not use the add-on fuse. the eyeliner will not turn on as a DRL, but will run as the parking light. If you want the eyeliner as a DRL, use the fused wire and cut the blue wire between the headlight and the connector. Shrink tube the end of the wire to prevent corrosion/inadvertent shorts.

in the photo you will see two blue wires. one loops around and is the wire connected to the other headlight and fuse box with the add-on fuse. the other blue wire with the red shrink tube was de-pinned from the headlight plug and protected with shrink tube. I used spare rubber blanks to fill the hole in the connector to maintain water resistance. if you do not have a way to seal the plug after de-pinning, i’d advice just cutting the blue wire and capping each end with a small bit of shrink tube.

make the alterations to the harness on the headlight not the chassis so it is easier to swap to other headlights in the future that might not require this mod.

*note for future: these steps are required for twins with 8 wire OEM HID headlights and not applicable to 6 wire Halogen cars.
