Is there a way to turn on DRLs with headlights - Page 2

Quickkidd · 05-21-2007, 08:29 PM

so no one knows how to have both the DRL and low beams on at the same time?

there was another thread like this i had posted a theoretical solution:

take a volt meter and determine the voltage and amperage going through fuse #37. get a switch, and find a source that runs the same amperage and voltage and run it through the fuse. in theory when you turn on the switch it would activate your DRLs whenever you wanted.

you could also remove the fuse and place an equivalent fuse in line with the source and run it into the cold side of the fuse.

i really want to know how to do this too. i think it would look cool with yellow bulbs and HID's kinda like the itr's...

bump for a solution....

i don't understand the point of having the drls and lowbeam running at the same time. more light? aesthetics?

I might disconnect my drl...it looks ugly....

When you turn on the headlights with the switch, you then toggle between Low- and High-Beam settings. AFAIK, the DRLs have a separate fuse and by removing it you can eliminate the DRLs being "On" entirely.

Someone please correct this if in error. Thanks.

So if you have H.I.Ds as your high beam, then your DRL will run using the H.I.Ds? or will the relay trigger it not to turn on?

hey everyone i figured it out. i will have pics and a crappy diagram posted up soon. it looks really good but the high beams are still kinda bright so i think im gonna put in another resistor...

any luck with this....

DIY: DRL's on with low beams

yungbuks9i6 · 04-03-2008, 11:00 PM

i have my drls on wit my low beams. im running 8k hid and i put a switch for my drls, so now when i turn on my low beams, my switch my drls on. so now i got both of them on. so i switch out the oem bulbs, and put in super yellow blubs so i would have the look of the itr headlight. i not a big fan of fog lights on a sedan so i did that instead. its pretty easy to do. but only if u know about the wiring. pm me if u really want to do it. ( i also got black housing projectors for my headlights.)
