Does anyone know how to wire aftermarket driving lights in so that they come on with the low beams, without the need for a manual switch? I did mine but the seem to come on anytime the DRLs come on. Help please.

Thanks,
Mike

Hey,
I am assuming you are using a relay of sorts. If so hook up the relay to monitor your park light. You should be able to do it to low beams, however the circuit for DRL may use the low/high beam circuit.
This would be why the driving lights are on now as ther is power to that circuit.

The only disadvantage is the Driving lights will be on always when the park lights are on.

Hope this helps

Thanks, the parking light idea worked great. I am just pissed I never thought of it, would have saved much frustration.
