Well looking at the wiring diagrams, there seems to be some sort of control unit. I wanna find out if I can find a way so they don’t turn off when I turn on the headlights. Actually maybe it;'s just the relay…

i believe there’s an orange and black wire that you have to cut to make the dtrl stay on when your headlights are on. It’s on the passenger side right in beside the battery. That’s how i made mine stay on

While we are on the Daytime running lights… one of mine doesnt work and it has to be a wiring problem.
I downloaded the manual for my 95 240 but there I am not too sure where to look at in the electrical section (Do the US have the daytime running lights? Cause it seems like this manual was for the US version)

Are there legality issues with having your DRL’s on all the time?

That’s the thread witht he pics, very helpful, thanks everyone, even though I knew which wire, I didn’t know where the module was. lol
Someone said that the DRL can’t project any light, they just light up the plastic, but I have Motomaster bulbs in mine and they light up like 4 feet in front of the car! Is it because my lenses are not foggy?
