Lighting Question

[ep3er]

I want to have the DRL's to be on at the same time the headlights are on.
Has anybody done this? Any special way to accomplish this?
BTW I have an 08 SE.

For a sec there I read "Lightning question".

If U do that it might be illegal... unless U don't have fog lights. Someone was saying there is a limit on how many lights can be on at the same time.

I read the same for a sec... hahha

Anyways, The one possible way I see it is to tap into the side marker lights

As per the legality issue.. it may be okay... Acuras have them on all the time

I do have fog lights. Have you noticed some cars (Lexus GS i.e.) have the low beam on, then next is the running light (not high beam) at the same time as the fog lights.

the G35s have that too.

It was me....having more than 4 lights (not including parking/signals) on at all times. is illegal.

When you have you high's on (which are you DRL at a lower wattage) your headlights stay on but fogs go off, and when you flick you highs off your fogs return to the on position.

Best way to have what you want (DRL and Fogs on). Do the independant Fog mod.

Then you can turn your fogs on or off whenever you feel.

I actually wanted the DRL on at the same time with the low beam, not the fog lights.

Or if you want to sacrifice your foglights and bypass the need for a switch, you can use the power going to the foglights. But you might need to change out the resistor.

Awesome find!!

Will the DRL's still work the same during the daytime?

Here's a thread with no switch required... and yes, it will work normally since power will still go to DRL without the low beams on

and confirmed that having 6 lights on (not including side markers) is illegal
