Right just a question as I couldn't find an answer, I have have the DRL's active, but there only on if I put the sidelights on during the day or when the auto lights come on. So is there's away so that there constantly on, so I can leave the switch in auto and there's no sidelights or dipped beam on

in the indicator DRL mod as its called (its actually not DRL's its just the indicators on constantly for the american market) this only happens when the lights are on it can not be coded to work with the switch in auto unless at least your side lights are also on.

Don't think so, they only come on when the lights do. I'm sure there's some tinkering with some wiring that might enable them to work off the ignition but I can't see the benifits. Si 32 (think that's his name) has retro fitted some led drl's on his 32 and they look oem. They would be easier to adapt than the indicator option I rekon!

You can't get the indicator running lights to be on all of the time I'm afraid.
