Looking for a VE
Has anyone found a way to keep the DRL's on at night yet? I'd be super curious to find out. I love the look of them

Also interested, If anything makes more sense to have them on at night especially since my next car is black, The more it stands out the better.
Just need the HSV setup.

OP is likely talking about Daytime Running Lights, the LED strips on the front of VF's (Except Evoke)

I doubt it. He has an SV6. Probably just another tool who wants to drive around with his bloody fog lights on all the time, regardless of the annoyance it causes other drivers.

VF SV6 is standard with DRL also.

I know that. I don't believe the OP was asking about those.
Fog lights don't turn off when Headlights/Parkers turn on, only DRL's do, which as clarified, are standard on the VF SV6.

The OP hasn't replied yet, but there is no issue with Fog's turning off when headlights are turned on, so the logical assumption would be that he is talking about the DRLs.

OP needs to get over it. They are not driving lights. They are DRL's, the keyword there being DAYTIME.

If we were going to find a way to keep the DRL's on at night, then I think we'd also need to change the headlights. They give off a yellow coloured light and will look pretty ordinary against the white LED's of the DRL's.

Good point, I also think it would need some kind of dimming switch so they come on at half power, those DRLs would be retina burning at night.

I have seen an ssv sedan with his low beam and DRL working together at night. I was driving by while he was stationary at an intersection. The DRL's also seemed dimmed so looks like its already been done. Just wondering where and how much?
