    How about including the side parking lights also? I'd like to keep the DRL and parking lights both on all the time. I know I can set stalk to parking lights so both DRL and parking lights to turn on, but the taillights will come on also and that I don't want.

    Sorry the ebay link for that ATM fuse tap expired. Can you provide me with another working one? Want to make sure I don't buy the wrong one.

    Thanks!

    Hello,
    I need an answer. With using of the fuse adapter put in + "ready" mode and the other side in the right place of relay socket will the DRL goes OFF with switching the Headlights ON/AUTO?

    You have it plugged to the top connector instead of the middle female connector. Plug to middle connector and it'll work like a charm.

    Bought a wire tap with a fuse and ended up using your paperclip idea. Works great! Thanks for your post. Helped me for sure.

    One end is a standard crimp on spade connector that plugs in where the center pin from the relay used to go, The other is bare wire inserted along with the headlight fuse.
