DRL dimmed with headlights on (How to Guide)

[snistr]

Any update with the diagrams? I'd like to try this install if I knew which plug / cable went where.

Anyone done this mod to a VF2 Redline and has pics of which wires to splice into ? The diagrams on here are great but don't show which wires to splice into like parker, accc power, drl etc..

Hi 3rspecB,
I'm interested to find out too. I bought a kit off ebay when my Redline was new. I never had it fitted. Would be good though. I have wondered if an autoelectrician could wire it up for me simply?

You would think/hope so. I too have the kit but don't know which wires to splice into as the pics from stooge no longer work.

So my mate and I got it working on my VF2. No flickering issues.. We were anal and soldered all joins, heat shrinked all joins and also tapped. I had a few rolls of OE cloth tape and used on the harness to give the OE look. Took us most of the day but we took our time and made it look neat.

Relay mounted to radiator bolt.

Well done. It looks great.
How hard was it? Did you get wiring diagrams or take any pics along the way?
Thanks

We spliced into the drivers side parker light using the top headlight connector.

Accessory power tap. #48 empty slot..
Provides 12v when engine is on. I want my DRLs to function as per OE (engine on).

Took us all day. Need to remove both wheels and gaurd liners and also the black plastic undertray. My holden engineer mate freaked out at how factory looking we made it. Used the wiring diagram from Ripper_017 as I bought the same drl dimmer module.
The drl dimmer wires for drl l and drl r need to be hard wired to the OE dimmer plugs so yes, you need to cut the factory wiring to the drl plugs. The blue wire is wired to accessory tap along with the relay and dimmer module 12v+ wires. The white wire to the relay per the instructions. The yellow wires we didn't use as i don't want the drl to indicate but they did as we tested the module. The green wire is strobe function, not connected either. We earthed the relay and dimmer module the the earth pole next to the engine bay fuse box. All joins were soldered and heat shrinked and taped.
DRL dimmer module was bought off ebay from aply20. $19.79. Same one as Ripper_017 on this forum.
