DRLs installed

[0212353]

Took advantage of a nice afternoon (in between the rain) to install my DRLs.

These are hooked up on a 5 pin relay, to allow them to turn off when the parking lights are turned on.

Not a bad install, just found a fuse to tap into for power to the relay, couple grounds, splice into the parking lights, bam.

And a couple pics here too:







Now hopefully these assholios out here will see me.....tired of about loosing my front end on idiots!

I can't wait to get out and park somewhere, see how far away I can see 'em. They'll be on when I remote start the truck, so that will make it easy to see!

[0212353]

oh yours will put these to shame, but I wouldn't run yours on the street! LOL

 

[LB3711]

[0212353]

[LB3711]

nope!

I've had it out before (when I swapped bumpers), so I remembered how it came out.

Basically, you have 6 push pins in the top. They have a pin within a pin setup. A trim removal tool works great to get those out. Then, the bottom has a couple of inner "clips". push up on those and the thing pops out.

Pretty simple on the removal. Install was easier.

And, if you don't run a front plate........the DRLs will fit in the smaller section in between the "tow hook" area. Just depends on what you are after for looks there.

Good stuff man. I think I'll be doing your setup

spiffy!

Here's some notes for you. Wiring genius comes from myoung - I suck at this stuff!

here's what you'll need:
- 5 pin relay and pigtail
- little bit of extra wire, depending on your application. I needed about.....16" more for my run to the fuse box.

So, here's what I did

Pins:
30 - ran to the fuse box - I found one that comes on when the truck is running
85 - ground
86 - parking lights (or whatever you want it to trigger "off" from
87 - 12V from the xDRLs
87a - not used for this

I found a fuse in the box that came on with power:

I wish I had the back ones on! LOL backing down my driveway is fun.......love the LED drop in bulbs I have, but these would make it killer!
