Any way to keep the daytime light on while turn signal is on?

Just like the title says. I hate the fact the DRL turns off when turn signal is on, is there any mod that makes it stay on?

Hi!,
you simply have to order this and choose what kind of behavior you like best:

I too agree it looks weird! However I think it definitely makes the turn signal more noticeable so I am totally fine with people seeing me better. After all soon as you turn it's back to sweet ride again��

They should have just made the drl a switchback blinker. I now have rgbw drl with switchback for blinker. Makes more sense to me. Most luxury car brands and others are doing switchback.

Yes, the one harness connects to both headlights. I installed this on my car and it was a pretty easy install. I did the dimming one, which is how the DRLs normally function (they dim when the headlights come on and are brighter when headlights are off).

Lol I remember seeing this on other cars years ago and thinking, "WTF???" It bugged me for years. Fast forward to a few months ago, I got my 6th. Literally on the day I bought it, I'm being a car at a light with my blinker on and I see the the reflection of my blinker on one side and the DRL on the other. I said, "you gotta be sh*ttin me" lmao.

No they never released. Different brand and the fog can also be used as switchback.I have a set if anyone interested but I understand the concept of the drl going off to make the blinker more noticeable.

Of course the harness covers both the headlights!

Here you can see it much better with Lethal Camaro's video on how to install it:


See you!!,
