Lexuspat To be fair you did actually get the helpful side of her then :lol:
[COLOR="DarkOrchid"]Tis true, I usually say Burn it and buy a supra!
What's wrong with just manually putting these lights on anyway.. give you something to do while you're giving your car a moment to start pumping it's oil everywhere it needs to be for optimum longevity and performance of your lovely wonderful automobile ? [/COLOR]

Ok where is Sam and what have you done with her.

What you need to do Predator is this... you need to go along to one of the Outlaw events where one of the wiring guru technical very helpful clever OJC boffins is attending and ask friendly questions about how to do it, then look vague and hmmm a bit until they say offer to show you where the wires go, then continue to look vague, mildly worried and hey presto, they fix it for you
This is a top secret tactic though, don't tell anyone else on the forum!

jomo Just found this wiring diag which may help you.

If you follow this diagram it will only allow the eyes to light up on dipped beam and not ign control.
Also that is more aimed at a relay wiring not just a switch

Omg, I've just logged back in and seen all these replies. You guys (and gurl) crack me up.
Hey, Purple Wench, thanks for the tip. I suspect it won't work so well for a stocky bloke with a shaved head, lol.

Yep, I just want the angel eyes, which are currently wired to the side lights/ dipped lights, to light up at the turn of the ignition key; aka DRL.

No that will Allow them to be drls that's the point of it, the box is to be fitted near the lights so you connect the sidelight input do they still work as sidelights as well.

The perfect solution. Anyone have a link to one they've used and approved?
Thanks,

If you just go on eBay and look up 'DRL Relay' you will find loads of them.
All you need is a relay that has two inputs, one that turns the circuit on, and a second input that will turn the first circuit back off.
They all come from China anyway, regardless of what company puts their stickier on it. lol

Hardest part will be finding a ACC 12v supply under the bonnet.
Unless someone knows of a good one to use?
