Hi baradeur, this link shows how I fitted Philips DRLs on my CW.https://www.i30ownersclub.com/forum/index.php?topic=11536.msg128015#msg128015
I'm using the fog lamps for DRLs. They are on when the key is in the ON position, but will turn off when the head lamps are on.Basically, I removed the original fog lamp relay, and added a 5-pin relay. I also added two piggy-back fuses: one for the B/UP fuse, and another for the head lamp fuse.BTW: the LEDs will not blow if they are wired with the wrong polarity. They just won't light up.
Sorry about the photo, it's a bit like a bowl of spaghetti. I guess I should spend some time to trim the lengths of the wires.1. Goes to the H/LP LO RH fuse2. Yes.3. The pink wire is for 86 ground. I couldn't find a ground point inside the fuse box, so I wired it to the chassis. If you manage to find an internal ground, please let me know.4. See 3.Your pin-outs are pretty much the same as mine. One point is that I connected 87a to 87 on the fog-lamp relay socket. This is fairly important. I would double check with a voltmeter which pin (30 or 87) on the fog-lamp relay socket has 12V. Don't connect to the pin with 12v.Good luck!
Yes, I also thought that the fog lamp relay socket should have an earth on one side of the coil, but according to the schematic it's actually connected to the BCM. I wasn't 100% sure how the BCM drives this signal in all states, so to be safe I used an external ground.Post some pics when you're done. It would be great to see the result.
The schematics can be found here for the Kia Ceed (KIA_CEED_ETM_all.pdf). They are the same for the i30.https://www.i30ownersclub.com/forum/index.php?topic=11447.msg126932#msg126932
I chose a completely separate relay & wiring system which gave me no problems at all.
Are you referring to page SD924-1? It looks like one side of the FL relay coil is earthed through the BCM, presumably whenever the FL switch is on. The other side is pulled to +12V via the tail lamp relay.
I just followed the KISS principle (Keep It Simple, Stupid)My DRL's come on with the ignition, go off when I put the lights on or if they come on automatically.I bought a 5 wire relay off e-bay, pre wired, purpose made for £7, 2 - 24 l.e.d. flexi strips (high brightness) from an e-bayer in Germany for £1.50. Some suitable wire & I also bought some flexible plastic cable wrap. The relay came with full instructions for a novice but I have electrical knowledge. 2 relay wires were +ve & -ve for the l.e.d.'s, 1 wire for ground, 1 wire for the "off" signal I took to the sidelights & 1 wire for a ignition switched 12volts. I mounted the strips above the current foglights under the bumper brow, following the UK height & distance from the side of the car guidelines. Soldered all wiring connectors & insulated / waterproofed them then used the flexible cable wrap to tidy it all up. No wires showing, all works fine & the l.e.d.'s themselves ar all but invisible until they are on. All in all took around 3 hours to do, since doing mine I have also done the same on a Peugeot 207.
Dont understand the reason for the re-posted Post?

The FL relay is earthed directly through the FL switch via the BCM and supplied via the rear lamp relay but only if the relay is closed. i.e. the front FLs only work if the rear lamps are on.The FL warning lamp is earthed at the instrument panel and supplied from the FL relay output to the FLs. This is why in my ( and your?) set up the warning lamp is on when the DRLs are on as they use the original FL lamp feed from the relay socket..
Hi Ffoxy & baradeur would love to see photos of DRL on the car.
This is a question to the owners of new Hyundai i30 as it seems similar to a new Cee'd:I wonder if any model of i30 is fitted with bulb DRL (I mean not a LED one)? What type of bulb does it come with?KIA (my car: Luxe) has got P21/5WXL which appears a rare one actually, so I am eager to replace an original bulb with LED one.
Can we have a pic, not sure I understand your question.
