LED help?

Installed new led backup from gen5diy and finally wired up the switchback led turn signals, but couldn't find the daytime running light fuse so they only turn on with the headlights, any help?

I don't have an answer to your question but I have another question for you. With these switchbacks installed when you turn on your turn signal (with headlights off) does it still turn off the DRL (eyeliner) led light like it does with the stock turn signal bulb? I assume yes because you didn't change anything electrical but just wondering. Also do you get hyperflash with the switchbacks? I installed led switchbacks on a friends altima and to get them to turn on during the day they came with a wire that we had to power by "piggybacking" a fuse in the fusebox. You have to use one that only comes on and goes off when the car is on or off otherwise if it's one that retains power after the car is off they will stay on too. Not sure if yours would be the same way or not. These were iJDMtoy brand switchbacks.

yes the drls turn off when low beams are off and led top and bottom are on. I do not get hyperflash or really fast blinking and these led switchback have built in resistors when purchased from ijdmtoy.

Hi, looking at SI if you pull the fuse's, things will go south fast, the are upstream of your BCM, pulling them will make a light come on or worst, the only way to make this work will be to make a harness, if you like to talk then call will work with you if you like.
