Got the package today and installed it right away! Install was super easy and to be honest, the hardest part and most time-consuming part was just wire management (tucking the wires away with zipties).

The only problem I encountered was that one of the connectors had a loose piece inside which did not allow me to fit it into the OEM headlight socket. At first, I thought it was a completely wrong connector, but after a few minutes of inspecting, it turned out it was just loose from it's position, had to move it back into place.

Overall, aside from that minor connector problem; I'm loving it! I'll report back if there's any other problems down the road with this product.

I think it would be 100% perfect if the DRL goes off once the foglights are turned on. Nevertheless, this is an awesome mod!

Pictures don't do it justice, in person this thing (DRL) is A LOT dimmer, just enough to be an accent light but not super bright.

that's exactly what i want. because with headlights and fogs AND DRL on that's just too much lights. i'd definitely jump on it if the DRL turns off when headlights and fogs are on haha

Sorry about that! Wonder if it got bumped in shipping somehow. We will have to double-check before shipping out as well. Glad to hear everything is working well!

I finally manged to have the time to put this in, works as described. Only thing that took a while was wire management and zip tying down the wire. Also the DRL connector was kind of hidden away and had trouble locating it at first.

Did this lighting demo some time ago. It's a bit fuzzy at first but cleans up after awhile when auto focus eventually kicks in

I just want to confirm that AlwaysOn module from DiodeDynamics works fine with Subaru BRZ EU models.
I will place a review on their web site soon.
