DRL on with headlights MOD

MagmaRed370z

Sorry for my big stupid ignorance. But how the heck do I do this? Read the whole 5 pages and I'm so confused.

So get to the box
Find the red and baige wires
Cut each in half? Then what?

Sorry need a step by step picture guide. Anybody want to help a wiring noob? I wish there would be a video or a step by step detailed guide.

So, most people cut the wires, I didn't. I took my time and opened the connector and with a small (very small) flat head screwdriver took out the red and beige wires with their connectors. Tied the two together with some 18 gauge wire (I think) and the other end to a flat connector and stuck it in the plug. cover everything with electrical tape or plastic covers.

Alright so I'm doing this today and I don't want to cut the wires. Are the little white prongs where the cable is in the connector where I need to insert a flat head to get them out? It looks like or do I need to take off a section of the white connector to get to where I can release the two wires?

Figured it out! Now to actually get the connectors out.....

Awesome. It looks more complicated than what it really is. Its super easy. Post a pic when you are done for sure!

All done! The hardest part was getting the wires out of the main connector!

My bad, saw your posts late. Yeah, that was the hardest part. But worth it if you don't want to cut wires.

This is very simple to do...like 30 mins of your life perhaps a hour if you never have.

Essentially your cutting the two wires involved with DRL in IPDM box which is essentially a wiring junction box. Nissan for whatever reason created a complicated circuit that determines when your DRL are on or off. Kinda of puzzling since usually a engineer takes the easiest path for design.

You first step should be disconnecting the battery.

Find the two wires that provide power and ground to the DRL..the guides on this site point them out. When you cut them you will have 2 loose wires and the two stubs that are plugged in. For myself I just electrical taped wrapped the ends that are still plugged in.

You you need to remove some of the wire's insulation. You can do this with a tool designed for that or use like a razor blade. Twist the wires together then insert them into a spade connector.

Your DRL require 12 volts and there happens to be a 12 volt port with nothing in it. You take your spade connector and put into that slot. Thats it. Its simple.

Probably the hardest part is finding that spade connector that will stay in that slot. The one I had was slightly to wide so I trimmed it down some and inserted it.

Easy peasy.
