Hi everyone, I just bought a pair of DRL FOG light from korea and ready to install it. instead of join/tap the singal wire to the park light/headlight wire loom,
is there any other way to give singal to the controller box to turn off the DRL? like a fuse tap? or?
lights that i brought :link: Fog Light LED DRL + Cover + Short wiring (Fit 2011+ HYUNDAI i30 Elantra Touring) | eBay (https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Fog-Light-LED-DRL-Cover-Short-wiring-Fit-2011-HYUNDAI-i30-Elantra-Touring/140780780190?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649)
thanks

So yours is a GD (series 2) hatch I assume? That is where photos would be handy.
Just click on the "add image to this post line" and follow the instructions.

thanks , thats correct. I want to know is there any fuse that gives power when headlight is turned on
-
The DRL’s are designed to switch off when headlights are on, there should be a harness available.

yes, that's what I need to know instead of damage the headlight wire to give signal to turn off the DRL, what else can also give singal to the harness to turn it off ?
-
The harness should include something like red and black wires going to ACC and GND respectively, and a white wire that goes to your headlight feed. The DRL will then use the white wire's signal to turn off.
You can make up your own harness with a relay and some simple logic. :winker:

IIRC: For the FD model, there was a separate fuse for the headlamps from which you could tap a signal.
But with the GD, and maybe the PD models, the headlamps and parking lamps are fed directly from a "smart junction box" which is collectively powered through a 60amp fuse. So, AFAIK the only route is to get your signal straight from either the headlamp or parker wires, as you already noted.

There is a DRL fuse in the driver's fuse box but I haven't looked to see how that works yet.
