However, is there a simple way to wire the DRL so that they stay on with the low beams, but turn off with the high beams (… much like front fog lights typically do)?

Not with that method. You would have to design the circuit to do that which would require some doing. The method described above bypasses Nissan's circuit and applies a continious 12volts to the LEDs while the car is on. The two are independent.

Today was the day. Finally completed it. Thanks for the instructions.

I just bought a 2016 nismo and I'm looking to do this mod but I'm not even going to attempt doing it myself would just feel more comfortable paying someone that knows what there doing to do it for me. Was wondering what would be considered an acceptable quote for a job like this?

I've been looking for a way to shut the DRL's off during the day or just have control of them for that matter....for my safety they say...

I wonder if this mod plus a switch would do the trick???

Hey guys.

I noticed when I first start the car in the morning both drl wont light up. I decided to drive the car around my town then went home to cool off. I started the car again few minutes later and both drl lit up. Anyone having this issue?

Thanks in advance.

Thanks!

Just did it this morning too! Love it.

cinderblocked · 07-11-2016, 10:50 AM

is there only ONE fuse in the IPDM responsible for BOTH running lights? or do the drivers side and passenger side have individual fuses?

if there are two fuses.. I may have blown one.

right now only my drivers side running lights come on

Awesome just did this! No cutting but I soldered wires in case I wanted to revert.
