Wiring aftermarket DRLs to auto on

Hi Guys,

I have purchased from Hella Supernova 9" spotlights for my baby and they have an integrated DRL LED strip in the center



Now my question is, how would I wire the DRL in to turn on when the car starts? I could take a ignition feed through the firewall but thought if anyone else had done something different?

Any hints? Tips?

When I fitted the halo effect DRL's in my fog lamps I picked up a ignition live feed from the fuse box under the bonnet, can't recall which one, but I just used a circuit tester to find it. Used to power up when I started the car and stay on for about 30seconds after I switched off. I used the piggy back type fuse.
Hope that is of some help Thumbs Up

Quick question, I have a friend who was stopped last night by the boys in blue as his retro fit DRL's were on along with his headlights.

I've had a read of some threads but can't see this mentioned anywhere or how to wire them up in order for them to switch off or dim when the headlights are on............any pointers?

He was given a ticked to amend the wiring and produce the vehicle for inspection, I think within 30 days?

Something like this ......

I fitted a unit off the bay(good few years ago now Confused )which can either
a) switch off the DRLs or
b) dim them when the headlamps are switched on

easy enough job to wire it in, think you can also really DIY with appropriate resistors but this has what you need Thumbs Up

have a read through this if you want....
