Did anyone ever find a way to keep the DRLs the same brightness with the headlights on? Just upgraded to the oculus bi-leds and it's painfully obvious the halogen DRLs are significantly more dim. I'll probably upgrade those to leds as well, but would still like to see them stay at the higher brightness.

The fender lights receive 2 inputs to determine which brightness level to use.

With headlights off and DRL turned on, the DRL Driver circuit will supply current to turn the lights on to high brightness.

When the headlights are turned on, the DRL Driver circuit turns off and instead the Park Lamp Driver circuit supplies power to the lights this time.
In this case, the lights use their low-brightness mode for nighttime driving.

The only way to keep the fender lights at high brightness would be to keep the DRL Driver circuit active with the headlights on. I think this can be done with the Tazer by setting the DRL location to Canada. When the DRLs are set to Canada, they will always be active so there's a chance that this may solve your problem.
Hi, just wondering, what if you connect both cables to the high brightness filament? That way doesn’t matter which circuit is On it will be connected to the full bright filament.

You have to change the bulbs. There are 4 wires, 2 filament 7443 bulbs. you need a higher wattage bulb, easier to just swap to LED.
