Using turn indicators as DRLs on 2009 HB

[Bluevitz-rs]

Was actually thinking about it. It's actually simpler than what have diagramed. You just need to add a diode just behind the power wire on the front turn signal. Then power it through a NC relay. Then power the relay using the turn signal stock. When you turn on the turn signal it'll power the relay disconnecting that light and blink like normal.

That setup will work (I have only tested it in a simulation though). The problem with that is if the engine is off (hence DRLs off) front blinkers will not work when the key is at the ON position or hazards are being used. Because they can't switch off anything. the bulbs are already off.
