I have the OLM ones.

I installed the OLM DRLs. Oddly enough, the length of the harness between the two lights is so short that there is no way to snake the wire through the body to tuck it nicely. It is so taught that it hangs between the two harnesses like a hammock. I decided to lengthen the harness by two feet, so I cut, soldered, heat shrink'ed and covered up the wires.

I already had the DD Always-On harness, so I tapped into that for the two wires (black and white), but someone could do the same for the stock DRL harness to get their ground and power for the new bulbs. The setup appears to work perfectly, except neither the boomerangs, nor the DRLs, dim when my headlights come on like they use to do, so maybe that is an issue; I don't want to be too bring at night.

Great! Any pictures for the OLMs turned on and off?
Meanwhile, what’s the always on module and is that for all versions including 2017+?

Thanks

Look up Always-On from Diode Dynamics. It makes it so the boomerangs and DRLs are always on regardless of light setting. I don’t know if it is compatible or makes sense with the MY17+ models because they don’t have a DRL as common standard option/feature.

I just assembled my stuff and have yet to verify in every mode that I’m getting the same operation like I had prior to the install, but it seems to be good.

Since I am not an expert, does anyone have a write-up or pictures for the wiring? I really want these JDM ones but do not want to have someone install (cutting wires etc) it which might cause issues later. I would like to follow up on an installation from someone who successfully installed it.

Thanks

Got the JDM DRL and any installation guide or video will be appreciated.
