Help! I just did the ijdmtoy kit method and the drl and headlights lights are working as intended, but now with the headlights off and the drls on, the radio display illumination is at 10% of normal of the illumination.This occurs with the headlights off. When the lights are turned on (parking and auto and full), the radio illumination returns to 100% same as the instrument panel. Any ideas?

Update: Apparently there was a reverse voltage feedback loop created by using a single wire without a resistor. I contacted ijdmtoy.com at (1-626 872 1127) and they advised using the

and connecting it - the red side to the parking light positive and black side to the existing DRL positive. This one way wire version is different than the wires that come with the kit. It has a resistor midstream preventing reverse voltage seeping back.

This wire (and installation method) corrected the dim illumination radio problem. Unless you want the bulbs with wire kit. I suggest ordering the bulbs (optional) and wires separately from: http://www.ebay.com/itm/One-Way-Powe...-/141310265700
