DRLs on with Parking Lights. It works. (Pics)

[HUMMERcustoms.com/TAZ]

I jumped with just wire becaused I wanted the running lights and drl to be on all the time day or night. The drl keeps runnings lights on in day and running lights keep drl on at night. No diode just wire.

I wanted running lights on all the time to make sure even though the rig is as big as a house they were seeing it with all lights possible to help aviod stupid drivers from missing seeing a house rolling down the road. Then at night the drl's just help see better under the low beams sort of like a fog light.

This should have been found in a search but, obzidian steps should be booked marked if you need to go back again.

I just popped in the diode with the following configuration: DRL #85 to HDLP LOW #85 with the grey strip on the HDLP LOW side and both the DRL and low beams come on at night but the DRLs are off during the day. I'm not sure if I'm happy with this or if I want to keep them off but any thoughts why this happened?

Hey all,

I finally did the DRL tip....works great.....thanks

Is this right,

During the day in Auto mode I have no lights at all.....In park, I have park and drl. But also if I turn to either park or all lights, then turn her off and open the door there is no beeping noise, telling me that I left the lights on????

Besides that it works great, love havin the drl's on at night!!

Something's not right there.

::Without Diode::
Daylight - DRL + Park lights
Night - Headlights + Park lights + DRL

::With Diode::
Daylight - DRL only
Night - Headlights + Park lights + DRL

I've said this before but I guess not here. THIS WILL NOT ADD MORE LIGHT AT NIGHT! The DRLs add very very very little light, that very little amount will get drowned out by the headlights. This is more of a "look" mod. I did this mod before. Also there is a risk that this mod can cause problems with your fuse box as its happened to owners before. I also bought the cheap ebay LEDs to replace the bulb in there (don't do it). Neither does anything. The only thing that will add light is to take out the DRLs and put in HIDs in that housing. You can buy 4 inch HIDs off ebay that will fit perfectly in that hole and will almost double your light output.

do the 4" Hid's plug into the factory wiring?

Thanks

Has anyone suffered anything serious from this mod. I think I only read one horror story

Can you plug the HID bulbs into the stock wiring?
or does it have to be rewired?

Has anyone done this daylight driving light mod to a 09 H2.I traded a 08 H3 Alpha for the 09 H2 and like having the bottom lights on with the low beam headlight.Plus,whats a good replacement bulb to use for a differant look if any.

Go to page 1 and look at the pics. Pop the hood. Open the panel by the driver's side. If your '07 panel looks the same then you have no problem. Mine's an '06 and works like a charm.
