Lights ON line feed for driving DRL’s
With some help from threads on this club I have now drawn up a circuit diagram and most connections to drive DRL’s I have purchased for my car. I have a small DRL’s control unit that can dim the DRL’s when the main lights are turned on ( a legal requirement I see) . Basically , the Control Unit has :-
Input : - • positive line - I plan to use Glovebox fuse 16 ( Accessories , Switched active with Ignition) • negative ( earth) line • a Dimmer Control line - connect where ??? Output :- • Positive/dimmed line to the DRL’s • Earth It is the Dimmer Control line I am having a little ( my brain?) problem with. I want to drive this from a point that is high when the main lights are switched on . I :- • had hoped to use fuse 40 ( 5A Exterior lights) but , studying circuit diagrams for 75's , I now think this is always 12V ?) • Suppose I could tap into the cable going into the Side lights – LH Red/Black wire , RH Red/Orange wire • Would prefer , however, to piggyback from fuse in the glove box fuse set I know a number of club members have sorted this out so could anyone guide me on this last feed point ? All the best. |
