    Remove box, open box bottom, place wire next to pin 5 (DRL) (wedged).

    upload_2020-1-22_20-51-42.jpg
    Low Beam Tap wire route out of box via top where all wires exit the fuse box. (lots of places to use) run beside box then into side box where all wires enter.

    You guys made this way harder than it has to be. I just did an add a fuse to the under hood box and have been running for a year. Fifteen minutes tops.

    I never touch the headlight stalk. I don't know when you'd ever want to turn them off exclusively.

    I'm just telling him an easy way to hook them up so they're on when it makes sense and off when they should be.

    Let me go see if they go off with the stalk. All I said is I never try.

    Ok so they do exactly what you want. Come on and go off with the auto headlights (which I use exclusively) but if I turn the stalk off everything shuts off.

    And if you place the stalk in DRL, do they come ON?

    Where's he wanna do that? And the stalk has separate DRL switch. I don't ever touch it nor do I know when anyone would.
