Default Re: DRLs on with Parking Lights. It works. (Pics)

well, that was easy. For the exception that its been raining all day today, i got it done.

Im kinda impatient and couldn't wait to get the mod done so i got my unbrella, parked it over the fuse box and blamo!!... No water hazard!! Well, still kinda dumb... Acutally, dont do what i do, last thing i need is someone do the same and get a short, thus blaming it on me or something.

ANYWAYS, truck looks great. Will have some pics up (keep saying that!!) I also got a set of 8K HID's as well and run the sylvania's Amber in the DRL's. Looks great! Those sylvania's shine really cool and are bright for a turn signal bulb.

so, here ya go for the dumbies like me, cliff notes!

Step 1: get some 20g wire, a 200v 1amp diode (Radio shack PN: 276-1102)

Step 2: Install the diode inbetween a line of wire. Or better put, get two pieces or wire and wire on to each side of the diode. You can solder it or wrap the wire around the diode wire and tape it up with electrical tape (NOT RECOMMEND, you should solder it)

Step 3: Remove the Prk fuse 10amp and the drl fuse 10amp.

Step 4: lift the park relay and drl relay and place the wire/diode ends (exposed wire... DUH!! ) into the specific slots in the relay. 86/85 respectivily. Make sure the little grey strip, the cathode side, is point towards the PRK RELAY 86. Also make sure the diodes wires arent exposed and not grounding on anything.

Step 5: Replace the relays in their specific slots. Make sure to line them up correctly; they got numbers next to the contact points on the bottom so its really easy no to mess this up.

Step 6: Replace the fuses.

Blamo!! your done! I did it with my light switch moved up to the main headlight setting not auto. So with your headlights on, you would be able to see the DRL's turn on when the connection is properly made. If not, take your time and re check everything. Check your wire/diode connections, etc.

Step 7: Enjoy!!
