Re: DRLs (Daytime Running Lights)
You probably do not need it now but you can get voltage sensing relays, they connect directly to the battery but do not turn on until the voltage rises above about 13.5 volts, ie after engine start

Re: DRLs (Daytime Running Lights)
That's what this one was supposed to do. It did turn the DRLs on at engine start, but then they wouldn't go off after engine shutdown. I waited about 10 minutes and they still wouldn't go off, until I pulled a contact off the battery. I tried it quite a few times for the same result.
Got it all sorted now though. Works perfectly.

Re:
Just as a note for those doing this mod.
If your DRL's are anywhere around your headlight, they must cancel out when the indicator is switched on.
This is so other drivers in front of you can see the indicator without the DRL blinding them.
It only applies to the DRL on the turning side, the other side can stay on.

Re:
Let's see if the new T32 X-Trail would have this feature in the DRLs that are built into the headlights.

Re: DRLs (Daytime Running Lights)
I recently had one of my fog lights broken so thought I'd check with Nissan about buying a single one to replace. In the back of my mind I also had the idea of replacing both of them with round DRLs as I'd get more use out of them than the fog lights and to be honest they'd probably be just as effective as the fogs.
Anyway after collapsing at the Nissan dealership when they told me a single replacement light was was over $330 I've decided to look into the DRL option.
My research is only in it's infancy, but I was wondering if anyone has replaced their factory fog lights with DRLs? If so do you have any part numbers I can research and how easy did you find them to replace?
Thanks
Allan

Re:
Hi Allan,
You can find aftermarket LED fog lights that are a direct replacement for the factory ones.

Re: DRLs (Daytime Running Lights)
Thanks Jalal,
Since posting I have stumbled across those on ebay, but I think I'm more inclined now to get some drls. Hardly used the fog lights anyway, as can only legally use the mm in inclement weather, so I think I'm going to go down the drl path.
