Hi Rik,

Why wouldn't you want the DRLs to just extinguish when the headlights are active?

This is a simpler fix than wanting them to dim, but that is achievable too - rather more complicated though.

It also depends on how the DRL's are organised, if there are 6 LEDs in a lamp I'd be guessing a simple series connection, but it might be a more complicated arrangement as the simple series connection will extinguish if any of the LEDs becomes an open circuit fault.

If you want more detail then PM me as I don't want to clutter the thread with technical detail.

Cheers

P.S. I generally don't like DRLs as they are far too intensive for my liking and are as bad as badly fitted driving lights where fog lamps ought to be.
