Default DRL's on with the headlights?

i'm pretty sure its possible because i saw someone at the recent meet who had them on, either that or must be going crazy. but i didnt get to ask him since when i saw it, we were already on the freeway.

anyone know this can be done? it could probably give off SOME light if any at night. any help would be nice, thanks

The inner lights light up along with the lows when you turn your high beams on.

You could try some creative wiring in your fuse box, linking the DRLs with the lowbeams somehow.

get a separate wiring with a separate switch and get this 9v relay, that way there's enough power for the drl's to turn on but not fully enough to engage into hi-beams...

yeah, doesn't seem entirely safe either... but where's the fun in safety?

I'm not too familiar with electrical stuff, but my idea involved wiring the drls into the fuse area or whatever that controls the lowbeams. I might mess with this later if I can convince myself I won't break anything in the process
