Yes, there is a way to rewire the angel eyes to act as the DRLs (by themselves just as the oem angel eyes do) by rewiring outside. It should be pretty simple from starting at scratch. For mine, it has to be rewired, not sure when it will be done, but I am going over to the shop now to finalize some things. |

Sam, can you find out how the LED AEs are wired up? Are they wired (internally in the light housings) to the parking lights? If I knew how the Depos lights were wired, I wouldn't be asking. If we can take them "out of the equation," so to speak, then we can wire them up manually to function how we wish. If they're wired integral to the lights (meaning, they replace a function found on the factory lights), then we have the CAN-BUS system to deal with.

Relay is only necessary to use the AEs as DRLs. This wouldn't affect any functions except allow you to run only the AEs as DRLs when the switch is on automatic and its light outside. hope that helps?

I guess it is personal preference then to have the Angels as only DRLs or just have the normal DRLs. Im stumped as to which one I would want... I am assuming though that the popular choice would be to have the Angels as the DRLs

How I feel about mine: I would like to have the AEs run as DRLs, but I kinda like the fact that I don't have them running all the time as it gives it somewhat of "stock" look during the day, and then pure sexyness at night LOL. And if I ever want to have them on during the day, I just flip the switch over to the right and they go on with the hids Call me crazy, but I kinda like the idea of having a stock look during the day and HIDs and AEs at night. Also, if I haven't mentioned already, we will be selling the Fog Light HIDs as well. I will get a picture of the fogs at night to give you guys a good idea of how they look with everything. |

I will decide soon... not 100% sure yet. I like the stock look, but having the AEs running as DRLs would be really cool. How much harder is it to hook up with the AEs as DRLs?
The HID Fogs sound sexy! Im assuming those are easy install? |

Not that much harder if at all, its just a different way of wiring it. Reason I am not doing it is because it would require us to reopen my headlights to rewire it. Fogs are pretty much plug and play while you do the headlight install.

Im assuming we can specify and order tomorrow? And what will be the wait time of getting the DEPOs installed and out to us? (not carrier time but time to make order).

Wait time will depend on many factors, but it should be in a 1 month time frame, as depending on when you order, we may or may not have the items stock (limited quantity right now) edit: this time frame starts from the moment of order Last edited by Sarracino89; 01-17-2011 at 11:23 PM..

Sam, good information, as always. More questions about how the AEs are wired up in your headlights.
You mentioned that they're wired to the parking lights. Does this mean that if you code the car for the "corner delete mod" (i.e., coding the car to remove the front sidemarker lights so they only light up as turn signals, as they are in Europe) you will lose the AEs? I assume they are actually wired to what, in the normal halogen lights, is the city light found in the high beam reflector? Otherwise, I think they would blink with the turn signal?? Anyway, my questions may be numerous, but I promise that they're all in trying to determine whether or not we can truly wire up the LED AEs to be DRLs (note, they would not be controlled via the BC DRL option) and then parking lights whenever the light switch is on (either via Auto, or physically turned to On). Finally, anyway you can find out if the AEs, as you're currently running them, are running on the full 12v? Or, are they running a reduced voltage? If they're running a reduced voltage, then we should be able to mimic the factory implementation (i.e., bright during the day, dimmed when the lights are on). If, on the other hand, they're running the full 12v when the lights are on, then we would have to figure out a way to step up the voltage to get them brighter during the day. Of course, then I have questions about the LEDs being used for this conversion. Anyway to get the specs on them? |

Sorry I was called into work a bit earlier and wasn't able to get everything together. I am writing up the Sale thread as we speak and will post the link here either tonight or tomorrow morning.
I did find out that the LEDs are running 12v of power. They are pretty bright during the day and definitely noticeable. Hope this helps? |

If I could go back and do them scratch (like you guys will be since you haven't ordered them just yet) I would have, especially for only $30 more for the relay.

Sam, can you clarify the DRL setup for these lights? You state that a relay is required (perhaps along the same lines as I suggested earlier in the thread) but you also stated that the AEs are wired up to the parking lights. If we're using a relay to power the AEs for DRL use, what are we doing to satisfy the CAN-BUS? If I'm not mistaken, if the lights are totally taken out of the equation (which I imagine they would need to be to get them to operate as DRLs), wouldn't the CAN-BUS see a malfunctioning bulb and throw errors?
