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?

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.

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.
