    Can you read dude? I posted exactly what he wanted and you seem to wanna be right. Just listen to someone who runs what he wants to. I appreciate your electrical knowledge but this one isn't it.

    YOUR way does not achieve what the OP wants. But to be fair, let the OP do as he likes.

    I do appreciate the feedback, but what I want to do is what @caribe makaira is showing me. Add a fuse does not achieve what I am looking for.

    I do not want my grille lights on all the time, or just with the head lights.

    I want them on with the DRLs on their own

    i also want them on with the headlights.

    but off if i ever hit the off light switch

    If I tap to the location you showed they only come on with headlights.

    if i tap green wire they come on w parking lights and head lights

    if i tap pink wire they only come on w drl

    if i tap green and pink the headlights stay on during the day

    the only way to avoid that from what i an reading is to use a diode

    My tacoma has auto headlight switch, so during the day my DRLs are on, and i want the grille lights on w them. I don't want them on ALL the time, so I do not want to tap another location either, in case I am ever in need of having all my lights off.

    i hope i made sense lol i been confusing myself all day

    So if I understand this correctly

    i will wire addafuse (lowbeam) to one side of diode
    middle diode to grille lights
    drl relay pin 5 to other side of diode w inline fuse inbetween
