DRL's to the low beam..anybody do it?

<BLOCKQUOTE class="ip-ubbcode-quote"><font size="-1">quote:</font><HR> what i want to do is hook it up to the low headlight beam so when i put the hoigh beam on they turn off and when i go back to low beam they come back on <HR></BLOCKQUOTE>

I put the diode in place, following the instructions found here in the forum, and THAT IS what happens. The DRL's are on with the low beams, and off with the high beams.

Makes for an interesting effect when you "flash" the lights (the "visible horn") because the DRLs go off (with the low beams, if they were on) when the highs go on. Then the DRLs return back on once you let the "visible horn" go.

(It can be a relatively light duty diode, by the way. Only the current for the pulling of the relay, less than a quarter amp, NOT the lamp current for the DRL's, goes through the diode.)
