Cost...<$1.00

Jump the #86 term from the parking light relay to #85 of the DRL relay. (Actually, the schematic is wrong and if you look at the bottom of the DRL relay it's actually #86. Doesn't matter anyway for this application).

Here's the pic of the jumper...Only draw back is unless you use another relay, your parking lights will be on when your DRLs are on and vice versa. Going the later route will be more involved.

The relays are a pain to lift. Use a flat blade screwdriver and GENTLY pry lose. Strip both ends of a wire and insert into terminals. Push in relay to hold in place.

#86/85 are low current terminals so you don't really need a really thick guage wire. Get one about 1/8" or so.

NSXTC, wow,
Looking good.
But do you mean that this way the parking lights and DRLs can and must only be on simultaneously? Driving by day AND night?
Solution would be then to turn off both during daylight. Especially where I live, because I get flashed often during the day by people who think I left my lights on unknowingly...
Thanks,
JCJ

Already done. It occurs to me that I never use the parking light setting anyway, only the auto function. Forgot, I've got the Bosch off road lamps, too. I get so many people flashing me now thinking my brights are on. This'll be fun.

Yep. The parking lights and DRL will be on at the same time. Your right JCJ, you can simply turn off the DRLs in the daytime.

Forgot to mention that before removing the relays, pull the parking light and drl fuses (circled in red below) to prevent potential shorts caused by the flat blade screwdriver.

Once the jumper has been installed, put the fuses and relays back, but don't fully seat it until after verifying that the lights work. This way, it won't be too much of a pain removing the relays again.

If you can pry open a can of paint with a flat blade, you can do this. The hard part may be stripping the wires. That's the extend of the difficulty.

You are correct on all of the above questions.

Auto - Parking lights with DRLs during day. At night, DRLs, parking and head lights. You can also turn off the DRLs during the day which will also turn off the parking lights.

Parking - Parking lights with DRLs.

On - All lights

Perimeter lights - DRLs, parking, reverse lights

"Parking lights" being the front orange lights?
"Perimeter lights" being the combination of lights you can program to switch on when using keyless entry and remaining on when exiting for a certain amount of time?

I did this jump last night, and didn't drive it like that till tonight and it's great. I never realized how good the DRL's are because it was always light out. My better half was driving in front of me and says they're not too bright.

THANK YOU FOR THE AWESOME TIP. EVERYONE SHOULD KEEP 'EM COMING!

Parking lights are all the x-mas tree lights (i.e., front, rear, and running lights)

Perimeter lights are the DRL and reverse lights which you program using keyless.

oh boy this was just toooo easy!!! The easiest thing yet I have done to this Rig!!!

How did you discover this technique to get the lights to do this?

Just curious to see if you are the brains of this operation.

The first thing was recognizing there are relays for DRLs and parking lights (this saved us a lot of time and $$). Next is to use a volt meter to find which terminal turns the parking relays on. Finally, use that same signal to power the DRL relay.

The tricky part was that the schematic is wrong for the DRLs. #86 is actually used for both relays, but the schematics listed the DRL as #85. I did this w/o the volt meter, but couldn't getting it working correctly. Only by using the volt meter was I able to find out where the problem was.

Well you did a great job in figuring it out!

I am very appreciative seeing that I don't see well at night and the lights on the H2 aren't the best I have driven yet at night.

My next step is to go to the Xenon White or Blue Bulbs.

Thanks NSXTC, My light project was finished 12/7/3. I went with the relay kit from RICKS that you suggested.($34.00) I hired a shop to help with the wiring because of my lack of knowledge and it took a while because they had never seen an H2 before. Anyway, I have the fexibility switching the DRL's on or off at anytime with the switch. It may not be a lot of light, but it helps and LOOKS good. Thank you..AL
