Custom light wiring
#1
I've got ccfl halos wired to my marker lights, and they look great, but if I want to run them in the daytime I have to switch my markers on, and that makes my taillights burn during the day. I want to keep them wired to my markers, but I also want to run a jumper wire to the + on my DRL's. That way they will be on automatically during the day and at night. But if i do run a jumper and have 2 different + wires feeding the halo's transformer, the voltage will flow backwards across the jumper wire, so the markers would turn on the DRL's, and vica-versa. My question is what would be the best way to solve that problem, by using relays, or putting diodes inline with both of the + wires? I was thinking diodes would be the simplest, but I don't know what rating I need cause I have no idea how many amps the halo's pull. Has anybody with an amp meter tested there's before? I have a multimeter but it only does voltage and resistance. Also, I have replaced the DRL and marker light bulbs with LED bulbs, and was wondering if anybody knows what rating resistor I need to solve the fast blinking turn signal problem?
