Adding Drls

[wwest]

Used two 5 amp diodes to supply window electric motor power source to both left and right parking/market/tail lights. Diode "cathode" to the top of each L/R fuse #3 and 4 and anodes joined and jumpered to the top of fuse #21. Will be adding 3W LEDs as actual DRLs later.

Please keep us posted on your progress. I would like to do this myself.

Here is the right way to do it. I am ordering the kit for my SC.

Sorry, that's just PURE BS. The object of true DRLs is to have a vehicle driver quite some distance down the road be able to recognize an oncoming vehicle, even a vehicle in shadow. That's why the high beam bulb/reflector aiming system is most often used but with a low wattage bulb, W5W, or at a subdued voltage. The wide and low pattern of turn signals is NOT DESIREABLE.
