Daytime running lamp (DRL)

[ice15]

Daytime running lamp (DRL, also daytime running light)

Naisip ko lang...

Since most entry level cars walang DRL...

May special fuse ba ang top of the line cars na ginagamit for DRLs?

Although yung mga mas bata nating members will mention na DRLs are LED lights... Nung early 90's most American cars' parking lights (and instrument panel) will light up once naka-on yung ignition ng car. Fast forward to the present time, ginawa lang LED yung lights... (Salamat Audi )

So question ko is, kung entry level yung car without DRL... baka naman may pwede palitan sa fuse box nung car para gamitin nya yung parking lights as DRL...

Although hindi kasing ganda kung parking lights ang mag-on... Para sa safety naman talaga ang DRL

sa truck ko may ginawang module si zix para sa drl. bale 50% (i think) lang ang output nung high beam kapag naka on iyong makina. And then deactivated siya kapag naka on na ang park lights and headlights. Although may option na always activated siya.

siyempre correct wiring and all na siya (connected sa fuse and everything).

baka pwede mo contact si zix para sa project mo.

mas ok nga siya tingnan actually kasi parang oem. unlike doon sa fd2 ko na ginamitan ko ng led lights drl. although maganda din naman kinalabasan nun. si gary ng retrofit naman tumira nun

Buy ka na lang ng ganito flush mount Drl sa Amazon. [emoji846].

a good auto electrician should be able to tap direct from the battery and have its own fuse to boot.

also, look into your fusebox. there might be a spare tap there for "accessories".

No special fuse.. pero pwede ka mag gawa ng wiring to trigger the park lights using relays and diodes or install a dedicated drl tapped to your accessories line..

Napanood ko sa youtube kay RCR na ung Canadian market Tercel nilagyan daw ni toyota ng DRL sa canada gamit Halogen headlamps dahil nirequire na daw noon.

Use a voltage sensor to turn the foglamps on only when the engine is running. Another relay will be wired in parallel to the existing fogLamp relay contacts.

Ah, another DRL thread. Well let me tell you, I've been a believer that we don't need DRL in a tropical country. We don't have winter nor do we encounter fog on a regular basis (except maybe in one or two places), and for if we do encounter inclement weather or where there's limited visibility, you can simply turn on your low beams.

DRL is just light pollution, IMO.

Who needs DRL then? Motorcycles do. But as it is, in a sea of DRL from all vehicles on the road, you're likely to bury the motorcycles in all the "noise".

BUT, if you're hell bent on putting a DRL and want it to behave like OEM, make it so that it can sense that you're neither in Park or Neutral and that the ignition is ON, before lighting up the DRL. Proper DRLs don't turn on with the engine. They only turn on when the vehicle is shifted into any of the drive gears.

If that's difficult, another easy way to achieve similar results, is to sense the position of the handbrake. When the ignition is on and the handbrake is down, DRL should be on. In any other combination, the DRL should be off.

This is a good idea. I had leds retrofitted in the headlights but I synched them to the park lights because the default setup is engine on = park light on.

After a month na ginamit Yun bagong replace na headlight(under warranty).Tinanggal Kuna fuse sa DRL Ng Montero. Panget Kung naninilaw na.

Balik Kuna Lang pag meron na tayong smog sa Metro or byahe sa bundoks.

DRL is nice. if factory.
but to go out of one's way to have it installed... in tropical philippines...
why?
just turn on the headlights if deemed necessary.

That's how it should be.

But sadly even some OEMs did not wire it that way...

now that i regularly bike the roads of our concrete jungle, i disagree w/ the idea that DRLs aren't needed in vehicles plying the roads of tropical Ph.

i do understand that peeps here are reasoning w/ the mentality of an individual who is sitting comfortably behind a steering wheel, but if you were to think outside of the driver's seat, you guys will see how DRLs instantly enhances the visibility of a 2 or a 3 or even a 5 ton beast hurtling unpredictably through the streets full of random glare, irregular shadows, and blinding sheen - light pollution in other words.

for a bicyclist, everything out there is happening w/ a millisecond delay. i've learned the hard way that a biker's senses are amped way more than a driver's sensory receptor at any given time and it can get confusing and tiring sifting through all those visual ( and auditory) cues. a DRL is not a cure all to those cycling baggage, but it sure does help in determining what's the correct action to take in a relative snap.

honestly, nung una feeling ko walang silbi yung DRL pero nung naka-gamit ako ng car with DRL (especially sa Pinas) - useful pala.

kasi yung gauges/instrument panel naka-ilaw din. naalala ko yung FX days namin na halos di mo mabasa yung panel kapag day time, ang dilim kasi

tapos yung times naman na nasa tunnel ka sa atin na sobrang kulang sa ilaw... or biglang buhos ng ulan

kaya ngayon, naisip ko na since halos standard na ang DRL sa ibang bansa, parang ang weird naman kung may special wiring sila for "Philippine version"... baka naman fuse lang ang katapat and iilaw yung parking/tail/instrument panel ng car kapag nag-start.

iba naman yung DRL sa illuminated gauges.. may car models na walang DRL pero illuminated talaga yung gauges.. also kapag naka DRL mode, hindi naka ilaw yung "park light" ng car.. and some models use the DRL as the park lights.. so pag naka "park light" mode ka, mag DIM yung DRL and gauge panel, then iilaw yung tail lights.

^Agree

DRL ≠ "Optitron"/illuminated guages

syempre maporma yung "DRL" doc.

pero tama ka. in my case, i turn on the fog lamps para hindi masyado mataas yung ilaw. and this is probabaly the only time i use the fog lamps - pag umaga at nasa makipot ng highway sa probinsya.

[baludoy]

there's always the option to be conscientious to tons of people like me who don't use 4 wheeled vehicles all the time. DRLs are beyond porma even in sunny countries like ours.

go ride the bike for several kilometers often on our public roads and you'll see the glaring (pun intended) difference between those rides "armed" w/ more visibility than those w/o.

if one can afford expensive upgrades, a little pair of led DRLs is just a drop in the wallet bucket. it's definitely cheaper than an avoidable accident... your fault or not.

^Kahit bike dapat may DRL front/rear ska helmet sa gabi. I wired the DRL controller to the 35W foglamps, napansin ko mas alisto mga crossing vehicles/pedestrians, I myself as a driver mas visible ang may DRL lalo na sa masikip na kanto. This simple voltage sensor could be wired on the existing primaries of the fog relay.

^Kahit bike dapat may DRL front/rear ska helmet sa gabi.

yezzir.

ako iyong "headlight" ko may blinkers feature para for DRL usage.

and napansin ko meron na din mga bike helmets ngayon clips for red light blinkers. so lumalabas up and down ang "rear" lights ng mga bikers. hopefully, madami na din mag utilize ng provision na iyan kasi as it is kusa lang naman ang pag gamit nito.
