No change. They car and lights operate the same as usual with the relays.

Thanks. Can you provide a little bit of detail on your installation? I saw from an earlier thread that you gott your parts from Daniel Stern. Did you buy his relay/parts kit? Did you use his schematic to wire yours up? Where did you tap in for the power? Reason I ask is he is suggesting I'll need to rewire my DRLs but perhaps he misunderstood my application as I can't see why that would be the case. I'd think I just use the existing low and hi hot leads to energize the relay. That shouldn't change how my DRLs work afaik.

My installation is pretty simple, a pair of relays, high temp H4 connectors and some heavy gauge wire. I purchased my parts from Daniel Stern Lighting and my heavy wire from a local electrical hobbyist store. I used Daniel's wiring schematic. I pull the main power from the battery positive post. The trigger for the relays is tapped off one of the headlight harnesses. I mounted my relays on a post next to the spare tire, opposite the ABS system.
