Just did this mod to my 06..it was cake! The worst part is cramming the diodes in the lack of space next to the wiring. I jumped my lows to my highs and my fogs to my highs, then jumped my fogs to my lows. I couldnt see jumping my fogs to my DRL's, cuz why would i ever need fogs during the day? Anyone know which prong the turn signals is? And could you jump the drl's to that and make the whole assembly light up?

Sry to revive this thread again but can you just use the same method to jump the drls to the lows? Or for the drl's to be on with the parking lights do you just hafta splice into the turn signal wires? If so what wires would you hafta splice together?

Nvm..i tried it and it works..The drl's also still function as drl's but i jumped them to the lows with the diode method so the entire lower light bar lights up when the lows are on. And since i did the other diode jumps, when the highs are on, every light comes on

Switches are a great idea!
One thing to keep in mind is that these additional relays are all being powered by one pin in the BCM. ex: If you have HI --> LOW --> Fogs --> DRL, the BCM pin for HI's is pulling in 4 relays instead of just one, and it's not really designed to carry that load.

That being said, I've had Hi's to Low's to Fogs for about 3 years with no trouble.

I want to keep my lows on when I switch on my highs. But I have HID lows. Will this cause a blink in power?

shouldn't. the diode just triggers them to come on. they still draw power the same way they would initially.
