if so what is it and if not someone explain how it works

Icemark

Yeah, their is a parking light feed to the CPU, that the CPU will beep if the headlights are on and the door is open (as long as the parking lights work).

what is the real question???What do you really want to know???

DREYKO

i want to know if i can tap that into my fog light wires before or after the switch to get that beeping

Icemark

Tap the power for the switch that feeds the fog light relay to the parking lights wire (red/black- found at the center consol, CPU, Gauges, Radio, etc)

The wiring going to the fuse box for the buzzer is the parking light wire (red/black) if you just tapped onto it, you would turn the parking lights on and back feed the dash lights through the dimmer (leading to early headlight switch failure).

Wire the fog lights up correctly and you don't have to worry about the buzzer.

DREYKO

btw theyre not true foglights, they are my headlights i want to use as dautime running lights as per arroncakes web page,

Icemark

Oaky they still should be controlled by a switch and the headlights or parking lights or ignition (true DRL are ignition controlled)

DREYKO

so do i tap into the red/black wire and connedted before the switch or after the switch?

Icemark

Well if you are doing DRL and not fog lights you would tap the 2nd igntion wire, not the parking lights.

It would go, 2nd ignition, to switch, switch to relay, relay to lights, lights to ground.

(man I hate people that won't go into details... I mean how many posts down do we need to get before you actually wrote what you want to install????)

DREYKO

this is what i have now


red/white wire-----------------switch-------ground

Icemark

do you have a relay in the system currently???

DREYKO

im going to ad a fuse before the switch

DREYKO

nope no relay

Icemark

don't need a fuse on the switched wire if there is a relay in ths system already

DREYKO

ok so with what i have now what do i do to connect a relay and what all do the pins plug into?

Icemark

Okay, so you are feeding the headlight wire from the switch???

Just tell me how it is currently wired???

(is it just me or is this like pulling teeth????)

DREYKO

its just a strait wire from the headlight switch to a on off switch to ground

Icemark

If you are using the existing headlight wiring and want to add a switch DRL option to them you would wire as follows:

You need a 12 volt 5 or 4 pin automotive relay, a switch, and some wire.

On the bottom of the relay will be numbered pins. You will need to wire the relay up as follows:

85 and 30 of the relay to ground.
86 of the relay to one pin of the switch
87 of the relay to the headlight wire in the car (white/blue found at the switch)

Now the switch:
one pin of the switch to pin 86 of the relay
The other pin of the switch to 2nd ingition (black/red at the ignition switch ideally you will want a 1 amp fuse at your connection or within 12 inchs of your connection to the 2nd ignition wire.)

This will allow you to switch on the DRL when ever the ignition switch is in the ON position and the aftermarket switch is ON, but will turn off the headlights/DRL when ever the ignition switch is not in the ON position or the aftermarket switch is in the off position.

This prevents accidentaly leaving on the DRL, and allows you to switch off the DRL if desired. If you didn't want to switch off the DRL and wanted them always on when the car was ON, then you would not use the switch, and just take pin 86 of the relay to the Black/red 2nd ignition wire.

You want the 2nd igntion wire, because that wire drops voltage when cranking, so the DRL would not be on during the cranking of the starter to start the car.

cool ill go try it

youre doing good Ice hang in there :P
