Using the "swoosh" as your DRLs

[Orion]

I'm not a fan of the regular incandescent DRL's. I love the look of the lightbar "swoosh" on my 2012 r-spec. Does anyone know of a way to have that turned on all the time, and leave the DRL's off?

Not without rewiring the lights.

This is a question as old as time. Or, at least as old as 2011. The brief answer is FUGGEDABOUDIT. The “swoosh” is not bright enough to be well-seen as DRLs.

Hey Orion,

There is a fairly simple solution to this. Simply add a relay to the low beams and leave the lights in the always 'ON' position on the blinker stalk. You can run a switch from the relay into the cabin to control the relay or use the parking sensor switch as the trigger. I literally just finished doing this yesterday and I love the results. I plan on posting a write-up of how I did this.

Appreciate the suggestion, but bringing a car from Canada is not easy. Better idea is to move to Canada. Any houses for sale on your block? A four bedroom can handle four families and you will meet many new friends. Do we have to learn French or just speak loudly in English?

The DRLs are always on, but in this car they are actually the high beam bulbs. In short, that is not the problem being addressed in this thread.
