DRL and headlight both stay on???

[06xl]

I've seen this topic b4 I've searched but kind find it can some please give me the link or just tell me how to make both lights stay on at the dame time

Not sure, but I think you mean this one

The 4 high mod

Thanks man that's what I was looking for... So according to that mod if I run a diode from my DRL fuse to my low beams fuse both lights will stay on when I turn my low beams on and during the day the DRL will come on by itself????

That's how it works. But you need to make sure you connect to the "trigger" on the DRLs so that it works. I don't know which one that is, but someone asks the same question in that thread, so it might be answered there. (I didn't read the whole thread)

Also, I don't know the street laws off the top of my head, but I would make sure that it is legal to have 4 lights on for lows in your state. The DRLs may not be bright, but a cop may not care if it's illegal. Just my $0.02

Thanks man.. Now during the day when the drl is running the low shouldn't turn on since I'm using a diode or would it ??

You need to run your diode from the drl to the low beam if you want them to stay on. The 4-HI mod is for high beams.

If I run my drl to my low beam will the drl sti come on by itself during the day????

 

[TnTahoe]

are you wanting your high and low beams on together or your drl and lows on together, if drl and lows i would assume both would just be running all the time day or night

That's what I figured I don't want both the drl an low beams to come on during the day just drl an at night both dtl an Low wish there was a way cause I wanted to do drl 3k hid an low 8khid it will look nice at night if I can find a way to do it

I'll take a look at my fuse box today and see if I can figure out where the diode would go to trigger the drl to come on when the lows are on. However, remember the housings for the drl are not really directional and putting HIDs in there will probably produce a lot of light going everywhere. Not to mention the housing isn't made for HID so you will need to watch for melting also.

@ tahoe great advice neva thought of that well then mayb some hyper yellow drl bulbs I like that yellow an blue look kinda like honda guys have

If I'm not mistaken, equal wattage HIDS have a lower temperature than halogens.

The solution to what you want to do with the DRLs and low beams is this:

Hardwire the DRLs directly to the low beams, with an inline diode. You should only have to do one side for it to apply to both. Just consider the possibility of getting pulled over for "driving with your brights on" (even though you're not).

Bringing back from the dead anybody figure this out? I jumped a wire from drl to hdlp on 85 and they stay on all the time. Anybody know how to just get the drl to turn on during the day? My drl don't turn on at all without this mod. I just want to have them on just not my headlights aswell in the day too.

Interesting. On my 2006 my DRLs come on during the day when I put my truck in gear. I ran an in-line diode from my lowbeam relay in the Underhoodfuse panel to the DRL relay which also has an LED strip wired in. 85-85. So now my DRLs come on at night when the lowbeam engages. But my lowbeam does not come on during the day unless I engage them. It’s super easy. I’ll snap a pic when I can to show you.
