[MOD] Safe and super easy and cheap ($1.50) full time DRL

[camaroz1985]

Here is a pdf of how to do it on the 03-06 trucks. I think I eliminated diode 3 as shown on page 9 (it is redundant if you are doing the other ones). I thought I only used 3 diodes but I did use 4.

Amazing find. Thanks for sharing it here.

So it took me a few tries and about a half hour of moving the diode around between the relay slots to get it right. But I got the diodes in the correct spot and now my DRLs, which my halos are wired into, come on with my headlights. So I have those on at night now which is exactly what I wanted! I'm stoked! Interesting tidbit, my 2006 Denali has a relay in the panel for both the low and high beams since they are seperste bulbs. Didn't know that. Good thing there were two diodes on then pack from RadioShack! Lol. Anyways ran a one to the low beam and one to the high beam from the DRL relay. I'll post some pics this evening when the sun starts to go down with the lighting. It looks pretty sweet!

Here's a couple shots. First is my DRL during the day and then with them on with my headlights.

Yeah its just a simple led tube I got off eBay. I'm gonna change it though because the leds are already starting to flicker after only a few months. It's quote annoying. Lol.

I hate led flicker that's why I don't have any led bulbs on my Yuk

@DDenali , I have them in quite a few places. Those tubes are the only ones that are flickering. But that's because they were cheap and I'm a resuming weren't meant to last long. So I gotta find some better quality ones.
