Then wired the DRL's up via a five pole changeover relay so that they are on whenever ignition is in the run position (ignition feed to relay from fusebox in car behind glovebox) Then spliced a wire into sidelight wiring to run to relay to trip relay and turn off DRL's whenever sidelights come on. Think I wired the relay 85 to Earth. 30 to Ignition live. 87a to DRL's. So DRL's are on whenever ignition is on/engine running.
And 86 to sidelight feed to trip relay and turn DRL's off whenever sidelights or sidelights and headlights are on.

Thanks Paul
I understand the relay to turn the drls off when sidelights are on

Now stupid question time I can't make out from the Web if when the drls are on and you indicate do the drls flash on and off alternately to the indicators or is there a delay in the system so the drls stay off until the indicators stop ?

Cheers Scott
