    Hey all, I've searched high and low and maybe I'm using the wrong search terms but I'm hoping someone can point me in the right direction. I noticed the LED DTRL on my 2020 TRDOR AT dim when I turn the low beams on. Has any one reviewed the circuit to bypass this behavior yet. I'd like to them to stay on high mode all the time, even when the low and high beams are in use. Thank you. I appreciate you all.

    Any one? Should I move this to the 3rd Gen Forum?

    The DRL relay looses it's ground actuation when headlights are selected. When this occurs the DRL switch to the Parking/Tail circuit for continued illumination (dimmer). You would need to remove the Parking/Tail input but that would also turn off your other parking light inside the headlight. And you would also need to change the ground and power input to the DRL relay coil side. (Pins 85 & 86)

    On your 2019, it's much easier...
    2020 not so...

    If Park wire removed, side marker looses illumination along with the DRL. Not so on earlier versions...

    P.S. On connectors H16 & H17 the Parking circuit input needs to be remove & insulated ( or cut & insulated)

    The relay might be the easy part. It's the headlight...it is internally wired. Not like older models.
