help drl and turn signal setup

[mitsumi]

Good day,

can someone help me here? im having troubles finishing the installation of my drl and turn signal led. the only problem is i dont know where to tap the + wire for the DRL to work once car is started and if i should still put a fuse before connecting it to a positive wire?

If you get a fuse tap like this one you can wire it to a switched source in the fuse box. I'm guessing you don't have one on hand though so I probably can't help as far as wiring it without one of those.

i can buy one. but you couldve just posted on what fuse in the fuse box should i tap into.

Find a fuse that has 12 volts when the ignition is on

Do you have more information on that kit?

What poorman said. I think I used the accessory fuse but really any one that gives you 12V when you want it will work. Using the accessory fuse would turn on the DRL whenever the key is in ACC or ON position. If you only want the DRL's on when the engine is running you might want to use a different fuse. I believe the ignition fuse only has power when the key is in the ON position, but I avoided this one myself because if something goes wrong with my lights I still want to be able to start and drive the car normally.

i tried the drl fuse port but the drl turns on even when the car is not on acc or not on. i dont know how to check the fuse for 12v.

[mitsumi]

is there anyone here who may have know where i could tap the drl + wire to make it work once the car started.

Do you have access to an Add-A-Circuit type of device (Google it)? If so, you could install it in the fuse box and run it from there. I used the fuse position for the rear wiper.

That way you do not have to cut or tap into anything.

The DRL connection is as simple as it can be, and you don't need any additional box or gadget.

The turn light (not to be confused with the turning signal = blinker) is not so simple, because you need to get the turn information to make it go on.
