nice work.

[gtrokin330]

what happened to the original thread with the exact steps/diagrams..

i cant seem to find it

[Hallandale E92]

is it true you can just cut the wire to the LED and it wont throw a code because the voltage to it is so insignificant.

[Hallandale E92]

also how do you access the wire....?

[gtrokin330]

idk man...im waiting on my resistors to come so i can start this diy...i pmed the guy who started this whole thing but yet to receive a response.

i had an idea and maybe someone out there with some electrical knowledge might help out

the idea is to use a 5 pin relay
and to feed the positive input AND the relay coil with the wire coming from the headlight plug that is supposed to go to the turn signal
that way when the turn signal bulb is only getting 2.5v ( i measured it) in DRL mode
the relay would not energize and the bulb would not be getting any power
but when you used you turn signals
the relay would get 12v and would energize and the bulb would turn on
so that way you don't need to run any wiring to the side turn signals
and no wiring would be visible in the engine bay
everything would be inside the headlight

when the DRL mode is on (dim orange light form the turn signal)
i can wire a 1.25ohm 10 Watt resistor
so the car thinks that the bulb is still connected and it doens't throw a bulb failure light

so for a 5 pin relay
pin 85 is ground
pin 30 is the wire coming from the head light plug inside the headlight
pin 87 is going to the bulb
87a is the 1.25ohm 10 Watt Resistor (other side is connected to ground)
and pin 86 is connected with pin 30
so the power coming from the headlight plug both triggers the relay
and gives power to the bulb

thoughts?

yeah, i would try harder to hide those wires. that shit is all messy, and i want to see the look on the dealers face when they open your hood

ok i tried
you do lose the turn signal
but it still sees a bulb failure
i tried with 1.3ohm (which is what i measured the resistance of the OEM bulb at)
2.6 Ohm and 5.6Ohm (which gave a bulb failure quicker)
so i don't know how to move from here
when the turn signal is working i dont get the error and the relay works perfectly
i looked at both sides
and they flash at the same rate so once we get over the bulb failure warning
it should work flawlessly

i guess we need someone who has access to the electrical troubleshooting manual
how do they test of you have a bulb failure
is there a given resistance?
or is by current consumption?
no idea
