DRL on with headlights MOD

Haboob · 07-22-2014, 10:13 AM

Any more pics of the lights on together? Or some night shots?

I'd almost want to wire this up with a switch, in case I didn't want them on I could turn them on/off at my leisure.

Id like to have just a switch that turns on or off the DRL independant of the head lights.

Yes it does. Takes about 30 minutes.

I need to do this, thanks OP

Just did this a few days ago. Thanks for the write up. (It was fairly easy)

Just in case anyone is wondering the DRL's come on as soon as the engine is on. Previously it was when you disengaged the E Brake.

My only concern is that these may be too bright for night time use.

I walked back about 50 yards and man were they bright. A lot brighter than the headlights. I wish there was a way where we could adjust the power of the DRL's
(Come on at 50% power when the headlights are on)

Do you guys think their too bright or am I just being paranoid? I don't want to be that driver on the road blinding everyone.

I've been driving around rural Arkansas for since May with this mod and no one has bright lighted me yet. I think everyone has become so jaded by pnp hid kits that no one cares.

Easy, make a switch in your cup holder area and (hard) disconnect the factory LEDs from the factory harnesses and run hot and ground to your switch and the body. Wire it to the battery so it's always available.

My lights went out, any idea why? I don't see a fuse for the DRL on the 2014 models.

Works Great. Just completed on my 2015 370Z Nismo. Thanks for the instructions!

Somebody knows what gauge is that cable?

Yeah, my DRLs are out too. I haven't had a chance to look at it now but my guess is the spade connector came out the socket.
