Has anyone figured this out yet? - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Has anyone figured out how to make the parking light in the BRZ to be the daytime running light?

chanomatik · 10-24-2012, 08:47 PM

What do you mean? When I switch my headlights above "auto" but below "full on" I get my nice DRL's and the LED strip parking lights. It's looks superbadass.

They turn off with the parking brake up, don't they?

chanomatik · 10-24-2012, 08:56 PM

Yes.

Hope no one drives with the parking brake on! Doah.
Why bother rewiring when you can just flip it off auto onto parking and have sexy eyes drive time. It has the idiot buzzer to remind you to turn them off. I didn't have the luxury of auto lights in my last car so no biggy here

I just wish the that dash gauges didn't dim/go into night mode when parking lights are on...

Otherwise I'd have sexy angry halo eyes on all the time with parking lights...

I sort of hope someone finds a way to have the halos come on with the drls and main headlamps..

Yeah you see those because thats in parking light mode with the ebrake up, thus no DRLs on. I suspect you'd have to fool the car much like people fool headunits so they can program navi and play DVDs while moving.

So there is no way to drive like that with them on? Damn....

chanomatik · 10-25-2012, 02:12 PM

Got it! I thought those were just DRL's? Like, if it's in auto and it's daytime, isn't that all you'll see? I'll have to check this out... Kinda hard to get in front of my car while driving around. haha

ABQautoxer · 10-25-2012, 02:20 PM

Oh so you can I'm sure, just not by factory settings. You'd just have to wire something up.

planeta5ia · 10-26-2012, 02:46 PM

was wondering this too, i would like to drive with just the U shape eyes lid lights on only. if anyone figures it out, please advise

Norkoastal · 10-26-2012, 02:48 PM

+1 The U and the LED's w/o all other parking lights on would be saweetness.. This shape is pretty unique and doesn't look out of place/add-on like the Lexus variety.
