Question on side markers tapping into + DRL side to be on "all the time"

kisarci · 06-26-2016, 05:44 PM

Hey guys, so I've been thinking about buying this item

http://www.ebay.com/itm/FITS-BMW-E90...5Xbac1&vxp=mtr

I searched all over google and cannot find a direct installation DIY guide to tap the red wire to a constant power source so the side markers run as DRL. It says to tap into the positive side of a DRL source. Any idea what the best way to run the wires are and what to exactly tap into?

If you get carly , i believe coding drl as sidemarkers is an option.

Thanks for the response! But i don't want to lose the function of having the turn signals. I want to have the white LED "on all the time" as DRL, and switch to the amber blinkers when using the turn signal. Correct me if i'm wrong, but i believe coding it through the carly app will just have them "on all the time" instead of switching back and forth from the white to amber when using the turn signal.

Are your AE's working as drl?

If so, tap into positive feed for them
