Daytime Running Lights Installed - Genuine
How to make Factory DRLs bright even during night [Solved]
Well I have spent about 600$ US to install these genuine DRLs from the agency.
Now I only have one question, those DRLs have two modes, Day time mode and night time mode.
The daytime mode is extra bright (duh) but the night time mode is dimmed.
Now my question is, could I adjust the DRLs somehow to make them bright even during the night time mode (when I switch my headlights on) ?

for other DRL's there should be an extra wire coming out of the back of the DRL in addition to the 12v/ground - this wire will cause it to dim when the headlight is on. not sure how the factory DRLs are done if its relays or what.
Well I have found the solution to the Factory DRL. The solution goes as follows

This is the setup that comes from the Factory DRL. The blue cable is one that should cut to skip the dim that happens when you switch the lights on.

Cut the cable..


This is the final result
sorry for the bad quality pics (iPhone 4).
That was a successful update and the look has changed, I will definitely take some shots using my DSLR camera.
Spread the word..

Tuning yes you might find somebody, but as far as some parts like air intakes, I suggest you go for online shopping.
Yeah, that's a good price. I did them for 1800. Make sure you don't tell them the trick of cutting the blue wire after installation. Also, disable the orange light, make it only light when you turn the signal. Any noob electrician would know how to do it.
