I don't know why people add those terrible non OEM lights to their cars, imo makes it look ricie and cheap.

So what sort of transformer do you require and where can you get them? i am putting some LED DLRL on a camper with LEDS on it have not got the relay yet got the wires set up and not a lot of resistance on the park lights wire so may require a transformer. to get it to work.

Transformers do not work with DC!

Will i have to put a resister in the park light line some how to get the relay to cut in ?

Thinking, all I'm allowed to do, fitting a pair of Led daytime lights. Looking at TM listing they all 'seem' to be 2 wire connection. I know by law they must turn on with key and turn off with park lights. Any ideas how to fit them, please?
Looks good but $239.99 NZD way outa my price range

Heard about that, but thinking diodes might work, too?

Use I relay connect 86 to park light, 85 to ground, 30 to ign, and 87a to daytime lamp. Put a terminal over 87 so there is no love terminal exposed

Be better to have the love terminal exposed Lol :o)

What type relay is that? SPST or DPDT?

Save your money, just turn your headlights on!

Actually wrong there, It says :DRL should turn off when main headlights are turned on so technically you can still have park/position lights going as well with the LEDs going. This is the way I would wire it as I do a lot of towing so can have lights going to the trailer on parkers with the LEDs running

Yeah, the live feed can be from the windscreen wiper positive and a normally closed relay can be fitted to break the circuit when the headlights are turned on.

Got you. Thanks for all the info.

actually not wrong. Have wired literally hundreds of drl have I ever had to rewire some cause they were wrong. No. However have had to take them.off headlight feeds into parks on several trucks because they failed cof

Yeah we had a truck fail due to the separate park light switch being on so the running lights and park lights were on at the same time, turned the switch off and no problem cof passed.

Are you serious? Hella ones are made here and only $140 (and include the relay)

odd unless the rules are different for COF as it does clearly state they must only turn off when main headlights are turned on to pass a WOF

I just wired mine between the 12V on ignition and the positive side of my park lights. No relay. The unlit park light acts as a low resistive path to the negative (zero volts). As soon as the lights are on, the positive side of the park lights go to 12V and the DRLs stop running. Don't need a relay.
