DRL Daytime Running Lights Universal Control Module

Installed on 2010 Ford F-150 XLT. Make sure fused red wire on module is tapped into switchable 12 volt accessory lead. In other words, DRLs only comes on when ignition switch is on.

I have now put on 3 of these, all working great. First one installed it on a 99 forester, they never came with DRLs. Tip, you will have most all the connections right near your radio. Full time power, switched power, parking light power and some aftermarket radios also have a parking brake input sensor (mine did). I hooked it up and worked great first time, switches the DRL on and off the same as any OE DRL setup.Also put it on 2 newer cars that had DRL, but they were not compatible with HID or LED headlights. So I disabled the low voltage factory DRL and wired this to a switchback LED turn signal bulb.

I’ll report back in a few weeks or months, depending how long this lasts. Initial impressions are good. One thing I wish was different was the 30 second delay before the DRLs turn on. I don’t understand that. I’d prefer they stay on for 30 after the car is turned off.

I added LED headlight that have Daylight Running Lights. Installation is simple and it does exactly what is described. On another positive note: It's manufactured in the USA.

Did not get it to work

This thing was easy to install and has been working great.. if that changes, I'll let you know.

I use this module to automatically control aftermarket LED daytime running lights. Works perfectly so far—the DRL’s come on when I start the car and go off when I turn the headlights on. The module can be connected to the emergency brake or a manual switch to turn off the DRL’s (which I have not done). The only small issue is that the DRL’s temporarily stay on for a variable amount of time after the car is turned off, from a second to about 2 minutes. It has to do with how long the car has been running, so I would guess it is related to the state of battery charge. Hooking up the e-brake wire would resolve this.

It hooks up easily and works BUT be aware that it it runs the headlights at full power as DRL's (this should be mentioned in the product description but is not). If this is what you want then look no further and buy it, it's a well-made compact unit, made in the USA, and priced right.But running the headlights at full power all the time will use up their life quickly, and if you have those expensive super-bright and super-annoying blue lights (which blind oncoming traffic while actually decreasing the driver's visibility, do some research if you don't believe me, blue is not better) you'll be replacing them much sooner than expected (maybe not a bad thing for other drivers :).I found a much more expensive product that runs the headlights at reduced power as DRL's which is what I was after, my bulbs will last a very long time.
