Aren't your DRL's your driving lights? They are in the H3. In the H3, the DRL's are the turn signal filiment in the front turn/marker light.

you can put a diode between your parking light relay and your drl relay to have the drls on with the headlights. during the day, on auto, only the drls are on. if this is what you're looking for, let me know, i'll tell you which relay contacts to jump between, and which way the diode goes.

I wired a seperate switch to my Off-Road lights. That is a great idea to wire the relay to the high-beams. I should have thought of that Maybe I'll do that.

Step 1: get some 20g wire, a 200v 1amp diode (Radio shack PN: 276-1102)

Step 2: Install the diode inbetween a line of wire. Or better put, get two pieces or wire and wire on to each side of the diode. You can solder it or wrap the wire around the diode wire and tape it up with electrical tape (NOT RECOMMEND, you should solder it)

Step 3: Remove the Prk fuse 10amp and the drl fuse 10amp.

Step 4: lift the park relay and drl relay and place the wire/diode ends (exposed wire) into the specific slots in the relay. 86/85 respectivily. Make sure the little grey strip, the cathode side, is point towards the PRK RELAY 86. Also make sure the diodes wires arent exposed and not grounding on anything.

Step 5: Replace the relays in their specific slots. Make sure to line them up correctly; they got numbers next to the contact points on the bottom so its really easy no to mess this up.

Step 6: Replace the fuses.

Step 7: Enjoy!!
