I remember someone have day time running light DIY a while ago... can someone direct me to the page? I am thinking about wiring my angel eye light to day time running light so it'll always be on.

Im not really sure about Rav, but on civic I couldnt make it work. The DRL unit doesnt allow bi-xenon works prolly, it looks wierd, but I didint make it.

Also I can suggest to connect invertor from the eye to the side markers, it is quite simple and works good,

i think I will do the side marker... what's inverter?

If you want to keep it simple, you can just wire the angel eyes to an ignition switched lead, so that whenever the car is on the angel eyes will be on. It's pretty much the same as trying to wiring them into the DRL circuit.

I dont know what have you used for angel eye, but cold cathode using for eye must go with some sort of inverter using to transfer 12 v into higher voltage in order to power up your cold cathode.


Another q, did you install DRL unit afterwards or your rav came up with it?

it is not cold cathod, they are factory bmw angle eye so they are lamp powered ... ugly yellow.... where is the ignition switch? can i wire it somewhere in the engine bay? I have no idea how to go through firewall otherwise I'd set-up a switch for the angle eye so I can change colors.
