Love it when a plan comes together.

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

I just installed the ijdmtoy kit and will try to find a one way diode to stop the reverse voltage feedback loop that vin17 was talking about, as mine is doing the same as his.

I Just would like to know if the reverse voltage feedback loop will hurt anything until I can add the one way diode?

Update: I picked up one of these 1N4742A and it fixed the issues with the reverse voltage feedback loop and the radio dimming.

I bought that JDMToys DRL kit but never got it to work aside from the parking lights replacement.

The solution was easy. Open up the relay box cut the DRL light wires attach them to a spade connector and put it in the empty relay socket that is in that box.

DRL will come on when you turn on the car with that mod. Easy and takes less then 20 mins of your time. All you need is some basic tools, electrical tape. I did it in the parking lot of a hotel I was staying at lol.

Here is a link.
