Daytime Running Lights
#16
Ok..so that didn't work...it essentially makes my fogs, daytime running lights but I already have fogs and I have another set I wanna make daytime running lights...
I know it is simple, just have a LIVE red (fused) wire that I need to splice or put somewhere so when the car starts, lights come on. I have the lights individually grounded, and am not using a switch, now, where the heck can i put the power wire?
Anyone?
Fuse box?
Splice?
I know when I get the answer, I'm gonna kick myself.

If you can't find a wire that will do this for you, no offense, but you probably shouldn't be wiring things in your car. If you don't know how to do that stuff, I'll be happy to give you the details (how to properly tape and loom wires, etc). I just want to make sure you know what you're doing - we don't need another 944 on fire.

Thanks Daryl ! Yep, guess I better not touch it because I really didn't understand your instructions. If you knew what wire I could splice into or something like that....then no problem but the rest...arrrrgh! I can do almost anything on a car, except electrical.

There are actually some pretty good DIY auto electric books out there, and I would be surprised if you couldn't find one at an auto parts store, buy about $30 worth of tools/connectors/wire/loom/relay/zip ties, and be in business.

Hook it up like the aftermarked headlight harnesses are, off of the post on the back of the alternator.
They will only be on when the alternator is spinning. Just make sure and use a fused wire.

That would give you the voltage you need - just make sure you loom/tie down your wire and make good connections. I've just never been one to run things directly off the alternator, but it ought to work.
