Ahh nothing showed first photos and I cant quite make out the second.
I keep hearing about this ECU and I head theres a pin in it I can bend to disable DRL's, but all those places I read about it said its supposed to be in the fuse box. And well it's not.
Fuse 13 is the one I've pulled for DRL and it did nothing.
I also pulled every single other fuse and relay related to headlights and nothing but turning ALL my lights off lol.

The ECU is electronic control unit. In other words the brain. According to the electrical schematic connector C410 pin ten is the wire you cut. If you cut it make sure you leave lots of wire on both sides to make repairs if that takes the power away from all lighting.

Attachment 14090
Hopefully you can see the picture. You are looking for item G under the hood. Attachment 14091
I wish you the best of luck. And yes it is illegal to disable your day time running lights. You should see if you guy would wire in the led lights for the DRL's instead of disabling them. Just another path you could take.

Nobody has really been able to tell me how to do it that way.
I wish I knew how. Ive gotten nothing but bad attitude from guys on forums when I have tried to ask how to do this. So the easiest solution was wire them in with the controller and just disable my DRLs.

Spent all day trying to figure out how to wire the LEDs to turn on in DRL mode and NOT the headlights/HIDs
No Luck.
The LEDs are installed and look pretty sharp. Colour matches the HIDs pretty well so I don't mind if they stay on permanently.
But still CANNOT FIGURE OUT HOW TO KEEP POWER FROM GOING TO HEADLIGHTS IN DRL MODE! Frustrated...

I gave you an option in post # 7
Albeit it's kinda complicated and involves lots of relays/wiring etc

Electrical makes zero sense to me hahaha so most of that post whizzed past me.
Honestly if we cant figure it out by the next time I'm over in the lowermainland you might be hearing from me.
Mind you it all ready looks like a snake pit of wires under my hood between 3 pairs of HIDs and now the wires from these LEDs.
