Hi, i'm new here in the forum :)

I have a Hyundai i30 GD of 2012, source have installed Led's Daytime Running Lights. By connecting the minimum lights or average lights the Daytime Led's switch off.

It's possible the Led's Daytime Running always on, by having turn on minimum lights or average lights?

Thanks and regards from Portugal :D

That's why they're called DRL's (day time running lights)...when you turn on the other lights at night time the day time will switch off :)

My DRL's still stay on with the park lights but I think they would be a distraction to other drivers if left on permanently in the dark hours, laws in your location may restrict this as well :undecided:

Yes i know  :P

But it's possible to put DRL's always on like another car brand's like renault megane for example?

Anything is possible, best to talk to an auto electrician for your options.

Hi SepulRise

 :wttc:

Not sure, but I think on other brands when turning on main beams the DRL's will reduce brightness. Might not be easy, but as Craig says, anything is possible... :mrgreen:

The DRLs are far too bright to be used at night whereas some vehicles' DRLs are dimmer and hence remain on at night.

There was an update to the i30 GD sometime in 2013 (this info came from a technician at a UK dealership) which meant the DRLs remained on with the park/side lights and only switched off when the main headlights were switched on. You *may* be able to ask a dealership to apply that update if that is possible.
