LED DRL - Always on ?

Hello Everyone,

I tried searching the forum but I was unable to find anything. I was wondering if there is a thread that explains how to wire up the DRL so they are always on when the car is running ?

I thought DRLs are always on unless turned off from the Instrument Cluster or the headlight dial?

Only when I switch off the car then it'll switch off.

I have asked several companies in Shanghai and they all say no... Dont understand why its so hard to have these on.. Must be a simply software update.

yeah there is a DIY on here somewhere. No errors when i was on the stock bulbs. When I installed aznoptics leds, my drivers side flashes every now and then and when i want to run my eyebrows on that drl sometimes does not light. I need to replace the bulb tho i believe.

Willis, read page two of the thread below. I have a link in there for a simple harness that will light up the DRLs when the ignition is switched out of position one and will turn off a few seconds after the key is removed.
