Soni noticed the other day my drls arent coming on. Power is getting to them because i have my side emblem lights tapped into them and they are working. They both worked together before if anyone was thinking that could be an issue. Could they have both blown at the same time or is there something im missing?

Perhaps look into the relay/signal that triggers the DRLs, which I am assuming is on the ground/negative side of that circuit.. If you have power to the DRLs, try and provide a grd signal and see if they illuminate.

Might consider disconnect/isolate the emblem lights you have tapped into the circuit. Even though your emblem lights and DRLs both worked together at some point, it seem way too coincidental that you have modified the circuit and now are having problems.

Of course there is a sensor that detects when to have DRLs vs. headlights. It could have failed.

I might be confused..... our cars don't have DRLs. They're silly little, dim lights that come on with the parking lights & headlights. DRLs are aftermarket like the ones I have.

If hey worked before you tapped into them I would check your wiring and as shaker said isolate the factory circuit and see if they work without your added LEDs.

I have the Drive bright ones still in boxes since it's been so cold. You can wire them as DRLs? It would probably help if I read the instructions.

Yes, the Drivebrights act as DRLs. Engine on, lights on - Engine off, lights off.

I have the Drive Bright DRLs on my 2014 SHO as well. I have mine wired into the turn signals so they turn amber with the blinkers. Also have them wired into the headlights so they auto-dim when then headlights come on. Best mod out there for the money.
