DRL Install in RX-8 (REAL DRLs)
 

Hey All -

Ok, first off - yes, I've READ the infamous DRL fog light thread found here:
https://www.rx8club.com/showthread.p...&highlight=drl
(Omnicron did great work!)

What I'm TRULY interested in is has anyone actually installed TRUE daytime running lights in their US-spec RX-8 like the Canadian RX-8 has? The DRL in a Canadian RX-8 basically runs the high beams during the day at 40% of normal power. It looks pretty slick.

I found the following link that describes how to do it on a S2000, and it's pretty slick.


I want to do exactly this to my RX-8 -- anyone want to help me figure out the wiring diagrams? I don't have a service manual.

Here is the difference:

Lowbeams: http://alavigne.net/newHomePage/Moto...s_on_small.jpg

Hi-Beams: http://alavigne.net/newHomePage/Moto...s_on_small.jpg

The DRL kits look like we'd be able to adapt to the RX-8 as well.

Wow... Real late to the party.
I'm going to assume you never did this?
