Quick ? On disabling drl's...

[billybronco]

My fogs in my fab fours bumper were wired in conjunction with my brights; however, they're connected to a switch in the cab so I can control whether or not I want them to pop on when my brights are enabled.

i saw a thread elsewhere.....maybe the blue forums, where a guy mentioned that he disabled his DRL's; however, his fogs kicked on in their place.

can anybody determine whether or not i'll have this problem and if so will i be able to turn them on/off with my switch?

thanks

Need more detail on your wiring, but, it doesn't sound that way. It sounds like your aux lights are wired into the high beam circuit, with a switch in-line to turn them off when the high beams are on.

The other guy you refer to appears to have wired his into a different circuit. Unless you've tied into the relay that turns the DRL's on/off, no reason it should impact you...

roger....appreciate it.

again, i do have the ability to switch them on/off while brights enabled.

yeah, the fogs don't pop on when the vehicle is thrown into D along with the DRL's so I assumed I'd be good to go.

thanks boss.

I disabled my DRL's by disconnecting the harness behind the driver side headlamp. I connected my AUX Hella lamps control wire to my marker lights (instead of the highbeam control). So now the AUX operate manually with dash switch - or I can leave the switch in the on position and control them with the column switch (both marker & AUX simultaneously). So what I really do is leave the AUX switch on all the time and they act like my DRL's. They will auto-off and the key-fob remote kills them too. Note the manual switch does not override the column switch. The markers must be on for my AUX lights to come on.
