DRL, how do I wire this up?

I want to make the light bulb under the turn signal (in my pic it's orange) work as a Daytime Running Headlight using an LED bulb. How can I wire this up? This is stopping me from finishing my quad retrofit set up . Help me out here A-Ziners.

you should be able to wire it to a fuse with an add a circuit, just got to find one thats on at all times.

you could wire it using the foglight diy and have drl fogs and those light, or you can hot wire to the battery and add a on/off switch inside somewhere

Very easy. It's best to drive those LEDs with an automotive relay that is driven by the ignition wire which is +12V when the car is running.

Just tap into the IGN wire which is 12V when the engine is running. It is under the driver side dash, on the upper left. You will see a bunch of plug in's. I forgot which one it is. Use your test light or volt meter to see which one is 12V when the engine is running.
Then use this IGN wire as a "turn on" signal into your relay. The "output" pin of the relay goes to both your LEDs. The only other connections are +12V battery and ground to your relay.
