![]() Hahah the idea of 4 relays for 1 set of lights sounds... intimidating.
The sets will come with 1 relay or controller or whatever you call it. I found this video and it seems to follow the same idea as the description on the 1 set on how to install. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JSOdbc4M-gk So if I pull the fuse for DRL I should still get headlights when I turn those on, but nothing will happen when I have the switch to just DRL mode or "Park Lights" (it has 3 options, DRL - which is just the DRL lights, Park lights - which is the yellow markers tail lights and DRLs, and HEadlights - Park lights and Headlight) so If I ran the controller (relay?) like they show in the video but connect it to my headlights that should allow the new LED's to be on in DRL and Park light mode, then go off when I switch to headlights. They should stay off when I turn Highbeams off because somehow (seems to happen to a lot of people who do this...) when I flip highbeams on, my headlights stay on. I may just take you up on that offer and maybe we can atleast visually brain storm? It's honestly a giant mess of wires under that hood lol with all 3 sets of HID's I think theres a relay for the highs and Headlights installed (don't think we used one for the fogs....) I will be in town.... end of the month! 22nd or something like that. I know how to change bulbs and plug stuff in hahaha but I don't know wiring. I cant splice or cut or seal or... yeah id probably electrocute myself. |

![]() Well, you can't electrocute yourself with your 12v car, but you could maybe get a nasty burn.
I'll look at the video later - building a tank tonight. The only thing I didn't see you mention is how to address the dimmed Halos with the DRLs on. Is there something mentioned about it with their controller ? And by pulling the DRL fuse, are you taking half the power away from the Headlights ? As I mentioned earlier on, some cars are designed with 2 powered circuits. The first is half power, which you understand. The second is full power and is how your headlights go from DRL to Headlights. This is why I was suggesting so many relays. I'll get back to you after I look at the video. Looking forward to getting my new mixing tank siliconed tonight !! Last edited by gregzz4; 04-02-2015 at 02:45 AM. |
