    I installed these LED DRLs into my Mirage:

    They are, but the camera does make them look brighter.

    Nice upgrade. I'm furious if they can be used as turn signals.

    does your drl blink when the engine starts?

    i also had a drl with turn signal installed and tapped it to the window relay as seen on your pic. but my problem is it doesnt turn off when i turn off the engine. it only turns off once i open the door. ill upload a vid later.

    did yah put any fuse when you connected the wire from the window relay? mine doesnt.

    You probably tapped it on the wrong leg of the relay.
    You check my DRL thread for where I tapped mine.

    With the pins facing you it would look like this:

    __ |

    __ |

    You must tap your wire from the TOP left hand pin in the above illustration. This is the power to the control part of the relay which is switched. If you tap on the vertical pins those are powered for window operation for 30s after you shut off the car or cut off upon opening your door.

    This explains why your light is following your power window.

    __
    __
    l l

    so where should i put it. i found a vid that says to put it on the left vertical so that will be the right vertical on the illustration.

    this is the vid i followed
    https://youtu.be/Q3ZBHG24ghY

    is it the same? i just dont want to put it to other pins bec it might cause serious problems so i just followed it.
