Daytime Lights
Is there any way to wire in a switch or anything like that so that you can control the day time lights? Anyone ever tried or succeeded in doing so?

there is a how to for disabling them, if you are good with wiring, i'm sure you could rewire it with a switch. just put the switch inline on the control side.

See... I'm wandering how that would work with a switch though... The guy mentions the deal about the hand brake... But I can't see how to wire in a switch by messing with that fuse box... ? Any ideas?

Re: Daytime Lights
what i would do being the crazy person i am, i would crack up a relay, break the connection to one the contacts on the controling side, and wire a switch there, if it could be done, i haven't looked inside a relay for a while. if i had a full wiring diagram, i would do it the right why. do you want me to get one?

i dont know EVERYTHING about electronics.. but im thinking it of this way..
when your handbrake it down, the curcuit is in flow, thus turning ON the headlights, and OFF the "brake on" light.. so, a simple switch: fig 1a with the + pushed down, would let the circuit run as normal with the handbrake down.. but, vice versa, if you switch to -, it would cut off the circuit, and no lights would turn on.. granted the brake light would be on.. but thats no problem to worry about.. as long as YOU know the brake is down.. see what im saying? basically you would have to tap into the line that tells the fuse box when the brake is down i dont know about you guys, but my e-brake is weak, so i drive (when i dont want lights on) with it up by one "click" so it dosent fall back down.. they dont turn on

Re: Daytime Lights
the high beams are 9005
after reviewing the wiring diagram, the way i would do is - (easier then i thought) find circuit 592, its a light green/black striped wire between pin D4 on the black 68-way connector of the underhood fuse box and pin L on the black 18-way connector on the gauge cluster. since i'm assuming you want the switch in the cabin, i would pop the top off the dash, find the wire off of the cluster, and put a switch inline.

Re: Daytime Lights
tylerc has the diagram right and all, but that light can be annoying. if ud disconnect the connection to the handbrake while the car is off, it will eliminate the brake light sign, but the lights will stay on. DONT DO THIS. i did it to my 02 so it would make drifting less of a hassle. maybe if you disconnect it while the car is on and ebrake applied, you could get the desired effect.

Won't this mod only disable the relay though? turn them on in normal operation (only with headlights off and parking brake down), and off... My goal here is to be able to have the lamps themselves on a switch so I can turn them on and off as I would fog lights OR on WITH the headlights on... I don't know if this would be harder or easier, please help me out here... Right now I did the relay bypass in the fuse and relay center with 18 gauge wire as in sierrap615's original reply... The way I would like to do this is wiring the relay up to a switch where in one position it is giving the on signal despite the handbrake up or headlights on and in the other position the bypass... I'm thinking two switches might work if I know the bypass to leave them on constantly, and another switch for the bypass to leave them off (in use now) Thanks in advance for a reply,

But this is something I am going to persue even if I have to wire them up as fog lights and completely change where they get their power from, so anyone know what Amp/ watt power they would require or know of a how to?

3 position switch , that would keep me from having to wire up two seperate switches, thanks for the quick post, much appreciated
I would like a follow up if anyone out there has been able to pull this off, or knows the correct way to bypass the relay leaving it in the on position... Last edited by mysatilac; 02-28-2005 at 01:06 AM.
