Need some help please, DRL related...

Ok, I've searched and read countless threads about DRL mods and such but I haven't found a solution yet to what I'm wanting, so I'm wondering if someone here can help me out.

It's a very simple concept: I want the DRL power source "unplugged" from my fog lights and rerouted to my front AMBER turn signals, but I want my turn signals to still function as normal. I do NOT want to go buy different LED's and fool about with anything of the sort. I just want my front amber turn signals to dual-function as DRL's and turn signals, that's it....

So, is it possible and what is the DIY procedure?? It might help to know my car is an RS and when it comes to electricity, I'm a complete moron....Thanks guys....

Send a PM to one of the guys at AAC. This is the kind of thing they will get behind. They like thinking outside of the box.

Ok, I've figured out a way to make this happen. Using a relay, some diodes, and a resistor, it IS possible to make your front OEM amber turn signals function as both DRL's AND turn signals. You can even set it up to run your front ambers AND your Halos as the DRL's. You can also run your fog lights in conjunction, although I did not choose to do this. I actually just snipped the power to my fog lights, I have no use for them right now. I'm waiting on a few parts before I can finish this project, but I will post a wiring diagram and a few pics in the DIY section maybe this weekend...
