Re: day time running lights

The easiest way would be to just turn the switch on.

Re: day time running lights

I had a Cutlass I did this to. The local parts store (I don't remember offhand which chain) had a module that did the job, it illuminated the lights at about 80% intensity with ignition. All I needed to do was to connect 5 wires.

Re: day time running lights

Low beams only, no tail or park lights, no dash lights. You could do much the same thing with a relay, but the headlights would be 100% intensity.

I found a site that has one very similar to the one I had.

Re: day time running lights

Nope, you still have to turn on the lights after dark. If you do a little searching on the web, you might find automatic headlight kits.
