Help needed please...

I did this mod, however the DRLs still go off when the headlights come on. So weird! So now im doubting whether i cut the correct wires.

The arrow below is pointing to the red and tan wires i cut put together into the relay port.

Its a UK car and a 2015 Nismo, so the wiring looks different with different colours to the photos in this thread.

Any help would be greatly appreciated! Otherwise i might have to just cut the plugs off the DRLs and manually wire them up to the ignition.

hi @davidv10,
did you solve your issue ? I also noted my wiring (France) is different than our bro in US.
Wire colors are different than yours but same than US, but like you I can't find the 2 wires to do the job

I also just got my new ride a few weeks ago (also Passion Red!) and would like to do this mod. Hopefully someone can confirm!

Damn! You guys have now given me another thing to do to my car. It should look cool on a Nismo? I know the DRL's are pretty bright in the day. Wonder if they'll be too bright for my taste at night. Oh well, I'll give it a try.

I did this mod to my car, sorry I’m in the US so not sure about the wiring.

Anyway, I put tinted film on mine so that it makes it less bright. Still bright enough during the day, but not overwhelming at night to where it would blind someone.

Also sorry about the image. Not sure why it rotates it. Probably because I’m uploading directly from my phone.

Crazy and intimidating at first, but very simple. Keep in mind the cables are very thin but I agree with all the car should had been this way from factory
