DRL Question...

10101 Views 17 Replies 3 Participants Last post by  DrivenDaily
I have a 2010 1LT Malibu and I have noticed that the car is equipped with daytime running lights, I think this is a novel idea but I was wondering if it is possible and if so how to switch the DRL duty from the low beams to the high beams like the Toyota/Lexus/Honda/Acura vehicles have, the reason I want to do this is because I want to prolong the life of my HID low beams by not having them on all the time and divert that task to the high beams because I never use them. Currently I have disabled the drl's by pulling the fuse but I want to reinstate them as the high beams because I like the look of it an the idea of having daytime running lights. So is it possible to divert the drl duty from the low beams to the high beams and if so how?
Thanks

I seem to remember DrivenDaily saying he had rewired his DRL circuit on his old Malibu to power the front parking lamps. It shouldn't be that big a deal to do the high beam lamps the same way. The trick would be to reduce the brightness. The usual method is to power the lamps in series to divide the voltage drop across each lamp in half. If he happens to miss this thread, you may want to ping him.
