Plan to do this (these) Mod(s) - all pictures are so old that they aren't available anymore...can anyone post pics of what this looks like at the relay under the hood? If I understand correctly, you just add the diode between the relays (at the specific pin) along-side the pin? Any help is appreciated. Thanks

slonlow2000 - thanks for the pix...they showed me I was right in my thinking about how this worked. Did this tonight (low tied to high, and DRL tied into low) and love how they all work now.

just read a couple pages back that the 'zener' type diode won't work properly...
EDIT: I went ahead and tried the other diode (IN4004) and it works fine. I couldn't get the diode inside the wiring pins under the dash without bending so I used the relay method.

Mine were the same way. Its your ambient light sensor. I pulled the sensor and clipped the wires, then added an LED between the wires. You can either buy a new sensor or add some resistance between the wires and it will force your DRLs to be on all the time. Hope this helps.
