Gen6 How to keep Day Light Running Light on while Headlights are on


As the title states, I was curious to see if anyone knows how to wire up the DRL (Daytime Running Lights) to either stay on or to have hooked up to a swtich. I wanted to run them the same time my headlights are on. If anyone has a clue to where I need to look or where I need to search in the engine bay, all help will be greatly appreciated.

I just want to know where the wiring for the relay is to bypass it from there. I believe there is a relay that kicks on when the headlights are turned on so that they extingush. Thanks again for anyones assistance.

it's illegal to have more than 4 lights on at a time excluding parking/turn signals. You can only have you headlights and fogs on at the sametime...

There's no point in having your dlr's on anyway.

When i hit my highbeams the headlights stay on, but my fogs turn off...but they're aftermarket lights, i never wired them for that

In some vehicles, a dimmer light is emitted where the high beams are but it's not that particular bulb, but a smaller one specifically for that purpose.

My Jaguar, my friend's tC, a client's E Class all have it among other cars.... I'm guessing that's where the idea is from.

I kinda wondered too lol

Infiniti G35s have their DRL lights on with the low beams on. i'm guessing it's different for each car, but for the Camry, you'll be blinding the other drivers in front of you.
