DRLs on with Parking Lights. It works. (Pics)

[BGA23]

I just popped in the diode with the following configuration: DRL #85 to HDLP LOW #85 with the grey strip on the HDLP LOW side and both the DRL and low beams come on at night but the DRLs are off during the day. I'm not sure if I'm happy with this or if I want to keep them off but any thoughts why this happened?

Has anyone done this on the 07 system ? If so is it different . Thanks

Hey all,

I finally did the DRL tip....works great.....thanks

[Tex_h2]

Is this right,

During the day in Auto mode I have no lights at all.....In park, I have park and drl. But also if I turn to either park or all lights, then turn her off and open the door there is no beeping noise, telling me that I left the lights on????

Besides that it works great, love havin the drl's on at night!!

Something's not right there.

::Without Diode::
Daylight - DRL + Park lights
Night - Headlights + Park lights + DRL

::With Diode::
Daylight - DRL only
Night - Headlights + Park lights + DRL

So for normal DLR's on during the day (and nothing else) and adding DLR's while the headlights are on (lowbeams) we jumper the relay's as stated on the first page of this thread and add a diode to go to the low beam head lamp relay correct?

I've said this before but I guess not here. THIS WILL NOT ADD MORE LIGHT AT NIGHT! The DRLs add very very very little light, that very little amount will get drowned out by the headlights. This is more of a "look" mod. I did this mod before. Also there is a risk that this mod can cause problems with your fuse box as its happened to owners before. I also bought the cheap ebay LEDs to replace the bulb in there (don't do it). Neither does anything. The only thing that will add light is to take out the DRLs and put in HIDs in that housing. You can buy 4 inch HIDs off ebay that will fit perfectly in that hole and will almost double your light output.

do the 4" Hid's plug into the factory wiring?

Thanks

Has anyone suffered anything serious from this mod. I think I only read one horror story

This was the first thing on did on my 07 H2 right after I bought it in March this year. Still working like a champ--no horror stories here.
This should have come from the factory set-up this way. I was adamant to get it done because my H3 was set up with a separate switch to turn the those lights on--the 2 should have been the same way.

Nope, I did this on my '03 many years ago and then on my '06. Now that I have the truck back from the conversion, I'm going down today and buy another diode and install it again.

It's worth the minute and buck you have to spend.

Can you plug the HID bulbs into the stock wiring?
or does it have to be rewired?

Has anyone done this daylight driving light mod to a 09 H2.I traded a 08 H3 Alpha for the 09 H2 and like having the bottom lights on with the low beam headlight.Plus,whats a good replacement bulb to use for a differant look if any.

Go to page 1 and look at the pics. Pop the hood. Open the panel by the driver's side. If your '07 panel looks the same then you have no problem. Mine's an '06 and works like a charm.
