DRLs

I purchased a iJDMTOY (1) Universal LED Daytime Running Light Automatic ON/OFF Controller Module Box Relay. Has all of the features I am looking for with an excellent Youube Video and written instructions. I will update once I have everything up and running.

I have a US car that did not have DRL's. I simply replaced my fog light bulbs with Led's and leave the fog lights on all of the time. They go on and off with the ignition. This works with my 1999- maybe not all model years?

Why go to all of the trouble to wire in and install something extra?

I get it! For me its about fewer systems and simplicity for my simple mind ....

Post pics when you are done- I would like to see how it turns out.

Daytime Running Lights

I finally finished my DRLs. Did not take much time, just had some pressing issues that took up my time. The controller I used was supposed to shut off the DRLs when the turn signals were operating. What it actually did was flashed the turn signal light and the DRL. I looked for a way to turn off the DRLs when the turn signals were operating and due to the way the flasher works a simple relay would not work. I got out my Raspberry to see if there was a way to program it to perform the operation and so far the has not happened. Will keep looking into that.
