Re: questions about daytime running lights
ok so just a few more questions if you dont mind. the red/blue wire off the dimmer relay is going to be loacted where the fusebox under the hood its correct? (like i siad i was never any good with diagrams and need the lamens terms lol) also, the bulbs i got are these off ebay since i couldnt find any in any of the auto parts stores that are open on sundays when i decided to do this:
Luminics JDM Yellow Headlight Bulbs
Bulb Type: H1
Wattage (draw): 55
Wattage (output): 130
Color: JDM Yellow
Color Temp: 2500K
would those work as a lower wattage light or should i try to find something lower?

Yeah, it looks like the red/blu is in the underhood fusebox harness..
Try those bulbs, see how bright they are.. if they're yellow they shouldn't appear as bright as the same output bulb in white, etc.

Re: questions about daytime running lights
Put the switch inline with the pink wire, that way the DRL module will think the ignition isn't on, so it won't turn them on.
