tuko Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 I would like to add some DRL lights to the landy so recently bought 10 1.5W eagle eye LED's like these: I will install these lights just under the headlight bezel on the landy, evenly spaced with 5 on each side. To wire in these lamps legally, they must be in accordance with EC directive R97/28 and ECE R48. OK, the placement is not going to be a problem with fenders but the DRL must switch off "automatically" when switching on vehicle lights. This is where I need help, how do I wire them in so that they work as they should? I'm a bit confused with this as the side light can't be on when your using the DRL lamps and the DRL must turn off automatically when you switch on the headlights. When the headlights are on, you now need the side lights again. Todd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve b Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 They just need a feed from an ign live thru a 5 tag relay via the load tags 'load feed' and 'load live when relay is off' then run a sidelight feed to the 'switch on' tag so ign on = DRL on ign on /sidelights on = DRL off cheers Steveb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
