no hack to this drl relay yet? bypassing the DRL in any ways. Couldn't find anything on the subject. strange...

I just run without mine installed. No reason, I just want it that way...

Steve hang on, removing the relay when car running keeps the headlight constantly ON or switchable on/off (a-la-RoW)?

Switchable on/off (a-la-RoW). I just prefer it that way.
My car's original owner trashed the car's original headlights with 75W bulbs. Now I'd just as soon not have them running all the time.
Come to think of it, my scorched headlights would make great candidates for a bixenon conversion!

When my DRL relay failed and when I removed it, my litronics were indeed switchable but would turn off when I selected high beams ( halogens may differ). Nothing German designed is simple...

That is the behavior I have now. I want them on with the high beams. I have a relay on order. I'll report back.

Nice one Steve, thanks for this info

Didn't know. Not only that.... I've spent quite a bit of time trying to figure how to bypass (was trying to help a fellow member remotely from Shanghai). Embarrassing..... just flip out the relay and done. funny

Thanks mate and I agree RE headlight being a great candidate. Halogens needs to be exterminated. Modern car lighting systems are the way to go
