Installed LED headlights, now DRL warning

I recently installed some LED headlights from Auxito in my 2010 Fit. Now a warning DRL light flashes when driving. The daytime running lights are working, as are the other functions of the headlights. Is there a way to get the DRL warning light to stop flashing?

There is a fuse for just the DRL's. I bet popping that out would fix that issue.

Removing the fuse disables the daytime running lights. I'd rather keep the DRL if possible. I just want to resolve the warning light in the dash.

DTL's use low voltage and LED's do not like it. Disable the fuse and just drive with your full headlights on front and rear in the daytime like I do. Plus it's much safer that way also.

That's not fixing the issue, that's bypassing and ignoring it. If that's what you want, by all means.

Some H4 LED bulbs work better than others when it comes to DRL.

The one I have, works most of the time without issue. The DRL warning comes on immediately after turning off the main lights (when I back up into my driveway, I try to avoid shining onto the houses across the street). But after a few seconds, it goes away. It randomly pops on sometimes, in DRL/main light off, even when I haven't changed the stalk.

Before that, I had another set that never triggered the DRL warning light, but was kinda dim (compared to other LED lights).

Another that ALWAYS triggered DRL warning.

Etc.
