Any aftermarket DRL harness for front turn signals?

[neonarc]

Hi guys, anyone know of an aftermarket harness to make the front turn signals DRLs? I wanted to have the front turn signals activated as DRLs as I have heard others have done in the US but the dealers here either can't or won't. My idea was to activate them as DRLs and use that signal to drive the OEM vertical LEDs as DRLs also, mostly for looks.

 

Here is what I would like the aftermarket harness or controller to do:

1) Run the front turn signals as DRLs anytime the Edge is running

2) Have an off switch for when I don't want any lights on

3) Maintain the blinker function with headlights on or off

4)A second harness to setup the vertical LEDs are DRLs as well, while maintaining the courtesy lights

 

Does anyone know of a harness/controller or a different way that will let me do this?

I figure I could use a normal auto DRL harness with 3157 sockets to power the front turn signals. These DRL harnesses usually have a dim and turn signal function, I could connect the turn signal function to the stock wiring. Anything I'm not considering that would not let this work? If it did the stock wiring would be kept intact and I could buy a separate harness for the vertical LEDs or new aftermarket DRLs to replace them.

Webelectricproducts.com has a universal DRL module item number DRL-1 that will do most of what you want for only $39. It doesn't have an on/off switch but you could easily add your own to the module's yellow ignition switched power wire. I have used a number of their products in several vehicles and have found that they are well designed and solidly made.

 

You'd be on your own for connecting the LED trim lights. Frankly I wouldn't recommend it for several reasons... the LEDs are nowhere near bright enough to be effective DRLs, they would end up flashing (white) with your turn signals (because they only have one power feed) and you'd have to add diodes to the wiring just to prevent current back-feed into the parking light circuit.

 

If you really want to use the trim lights as DRLs, you'd be better off buying the kit from http://www.daytimebrightlites.com. It will give you much brighter white lights that flash amber with the turn signals.
