Default DRL Relay Wiring

This is one of the type of relays to enable you to wire your DRL's so that they go out when you turn on your headlights.
The red & black on the left connect to one Drl light,let's say d/side, the black box is the relay.The red & black wires on the right connect to the n/side drl.The white wire connects to the live of your headlight/or side light,whichever you prefer.The fused red wire connects to a switched live (fuse 4 usually) & the black to a suitable earth.Hope this helps anyone wishing to fit DRL's. Dipped beam on L/H side is blue/pink, R/H side is blue/black. Sidelight wire on L/H side is red/black, R/H side is red/orange

Yes it is fuse 4 If you look in the bunch of wires just under the fuse box, you should see a light green wire. If you splice into this with an inline fuse, then this is supplied via fuse 4

look on the lid of the under bonnet fuse box and the numbers are there but please note this fuse has a delay and will remain live for around 5 min after the ignition has been turned off
