DRL on with headlights MOD

dislimn · 11-12-2014, 12:29 PM

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.

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.

FIXED

It was what I suspected; the blade connector backed out of the relay socket. I knew the first connector was too small; it barely stayed in the socket. Although I was hoping it would stay in. I was too lazy the first time to go buy a bigger connector but I bought one today and installed. I had to trim the bigger connector a little...lets see how long this one stays in. Everything works as before.

To Kabestro: I used 18 gauge hook up wire. IIRC, the OEM wire is also 18 gauge.

I'm having a bit of a hard time telling what is going on with the red and beige wires from the picture. They are pulled from the IPDM, combined, and then just ran to that extra relay port? the bundle of wires seems to be blocking the view. Attached a picture as I'm thinking of it. Thanks!

RLami · 04-19-2015, 06:06 PM

update. Yes. That is what's required. Just completed.

They stay on all the time unless you're in ACC or obviously off. In the "on" position (engine off) they are also on.

Bright as fck with the highbeams on

Worked! MY very first ever ever DIY Mod. Many thanks!!!!

just picked up my 2015 nismo and I want to do this. but the more I read, the more confused I get. am I basically splicing the red and beige wire together and pluging it into another slot?

yes. It's really that simple.

rli2bcz · 05-30-2015, 12:13 PM

its simple but the pictures aren't clear and im not the best person with wires. TRUST ME! even I can F this up.

Kabestro · 05-30-2015, 05:03 PM

I'm all set to do this tomorrow, let's see how it goes...

Kabestro · 05-31-2015, 01:24 PM

Can you connect it to any of those four ports? Or does it have to be the one in the top right corner?
Also how do you get this cover off?
