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.

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

This thread is actually really old. If you look at the 1st page again, you can see the posts are from 2003. So they started modding the '03s and so on. The H3s are also referencing this mod. Again if the panel looks like the pics on the first page, it should be OK. Do not "accidentally" touch other connection points or you may short out your whole panel.

For pics:
Page 1 - Wire / Panel
Page 2 - Diode from Radio Shack
Page 8 - Shows where to solder diode (if you want)

So for normal DLR's on during the day (and nothing else) and adding DLR's while the headlights are on (lowbeams) we jumper the relay's as stated on the first page of this thread and add a diode to go to the low beam head lamp relay correct?

This is the one, Just the yellow or the read and yellow, but the yellow is a diode...

Correct!

What he was mentioning was if you added another jumper (the yellow one), you can only have the DRL on when the low beams are on. No DRL when using High beams.

Just do the basic one first with diode. I think you'll be happy with just that one. Also, look at your H2 panel and you will realize how easy it is. I was scared to do it until I saw what I was dealing with.

Just an FYI, it works with the 07's.......

Nice easy mod with the diode!

I must have done something different. I pluged the DLR's into the running lights and they stay on no matter what beam i'm on.

Stuart,
I read this two times while on conversence call this afternoon and downloaded it after what you tried to do on my Hummer. It is important to me and thank you. I think we got it right. Why I really wanted to get this done is because Wyoming is 97,000 sq. miles and all the roads are "open range". You need all the light you can get at night. From White mountain, I am looking at the Unita Mountains 150 miles away in Uath. Between me and the mountains is the world famous Flaming Gorge Reservoir. 92 miles of trout fishing.
Thank you for looking out for the "fisherman".

easiest and coolest mod in the universe

[bobh002]

very cool mod.....except I put ambers in my drl's

[HumminNBoatin']

Just got done doing this mod, Very cool NOW onto my light bar with Brites!!

Okay...I've been reading through this forum for about an hour and can't seem to find what I'm looking for...

I'd like to be able to maintain the original daytime functionality of my DRLs AND also have them stay on at night (when the headlights are on)...BUT...

...I do NOT want to wire them to the parking lights. I do NOT want to have my parking lights on during the day when my DRLs are on.

There is reference in an earlier post to a 'relay kit from RICKS'...? Does anyone have more info on this relay kit or another method to make this mod work?

Thanks in advance.

Ya know what...I just found the post in this thread regarding the diode...nevermind. I guess I just needed to read for an hour and 5 minutes before opening my mouth.

Thanks anyway.
