For noobs like myself, an important first step before installing the new relay is to disconnect the battery. Honestly, I learned that the hard way. Blew a fuse and I had no idea what the hell was wrong with my car.
There's a chance your buse won't blow if you don't disconnect the battery, but better to be safe than sorry. Especially since disconnecting your battery takes like a minute or two only. |
Is the second step missing? You are missing #2, n i was just curious about what the new relay looks like
|
Sorry I will change that. And the new relay looks identical to the oem one its just says LED relay on it
|
Does the relay alone disable the usual DRL's, or was that another step?
|
Last weekend I installed a 6000k HID kit for my FRS and these LED turn signals will be a great addition. I was wondering if the LED white matches better with the 6000k or 5000k.
|
so tell me why the indicators would stay on? and not flash
so you have park lights.. ? so all your indicators just stay on? |
Someone correct me if Im wrong but by default, the indicators stay on with the lights on and only flash when you use the turn signal switch.

Someone that has the info help me out. |
With the lights fully off (DRL on only) these lights are off and the high beam bulbs are at lower power for DRL's.
With parking lights on these lights come on, in addition to the DRL's. Lights fully on the DRL's are off, these bulbs are on and the low beam bulbs are on. It would be nice to have these bulbs on for the DRL instead of the high beam bulbs, but I'm not sure how much wiring work that would take. |
