Not sure what you meant by this.

I'm just guessing, might have meant did you turn the dimmer all the way up? Don't know whether it would have anything to do with your trying to accomplish, I'm just saying that's what the poster might have meant. But then again I'm wrong as much as I'm right, LOL

Yea dimmer, iPhone is doing some weird stuff since update.

Your ambient lighting circuit follows your dimmer.

On mine you can see a difference when turned all the way down to all the way up. Not sure if that would have cause difference on boost brand lights.

Just another thought.

Well can't vouch for an IPhone but I can honestly say my Android isn't much better. One thing for sure, its built like a tank cause its chalked up quite a few air miles and I don't fly.

Is it possible to do a backup of the BCM using the Windows version? I have an iPhone and no Android device.

As stated, you wouldn't want to tie into the high beams with the dedicated drl feed. They would be at 100% power, although you "can" adjust the voltage for drl's. You'd want to install a diode to prevent back feed for when the highs are actually being used. If you want highs as your drl's just use alfaobd to set highs as drl's. If they flicker try adjusting the alpharex headlights just use the supplied drl feed on each headlight for the dedicated feed. If you want both the dedicated and fogs as drl's you have a couple of ways of doing it. Easiest, use the supplied drl harness with the alpharex lights and set drl's to fogs. A little more involved use what ever you set as drl's to trigger a relay so the fogs come on also. You'd want to install a diode on each side to prevent any back feed.

As far as grounds. If you use the drl function of the alpharex lights then no grounds are needed. If you go another route (using a relay to trigger) then you'll have to ground the relay. Or if you use the dedicated to power a light bar or pods you'd have to ground them.

I know this sounds stupid but I bought the Alpha Owls but their is no DRL line to connect to. I have look and tried to get more information but nothing. It’s seems as if the DRL don’t have a way to work unless I find another way to tie into the light. The only plugs coming from the light to plug into is the turn signal and high low beams that’s it. Does anyone else have a solution!

Read through this post, it will walk you through what to look for and what you'll need: https://www.ramforum.com/threads/what-kind-of-headlights-do-i-have.170404/
