2019 ZL1 drl
Hi,
Can anyone tell me how the front DRLs work? I have a Aussie ZL1 & they deleted them. I’m put them back on and wired them to the side amber marker. So when the headlights are on, the DRLs & side markers are also on. Do the American models work like this? I’m not sure if the American models turn the DRLs off automatically when the headlights are on. Maybe the DRLs are too bright to have them on at night. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks. |

The DRL’s have a few modes, when the car is in park with the lights on auto they are off entirely, once you put the car in drive / reverse they turn on to “bright mode.” Once the auto headlights activate, or you manually select parking lights / headlights, they go into their “dim mode”. It is my understanding they are PWM controlled so you probably need the proper GM harness that gets the PWM info from what I assume would be the BCM. If they just removed the DRL’s you might be in luck and it could just be plug and play, if not you maybe going down a rabbit hole chasing a BCM if that needs programming as well.

Hi,
When it was converted to RHD they used the plug for something else. I’ve just connected them to the amber side lights. Better than nothing. I was just worried that at night they might be too bright for no coming cars. But from what your saying is they are on when the headlights are on anyway. |

I was told HSV used the plugs for something else on the ZL1 so they arnt there. But on the SS model they are there and you can un tape them & plug them in. I got corvette clinic here in Melbourne to put them on my ZL1. They wired them to the side amber markers. Maybe the plugs are there, I don’t know. But HSV also pulled the fuse & the wire under the fuse as well.
