Factory DRL TTS 2008
Can I activate DRL in bumper for 100% brightness and use it how it is supposed to be. I saw like mine in Bulgaria yesterday with only DRL in bumper with full brightness,but it was in a move so i couldn't ask driver did he did that or it was factory.

Are you talking about using the parking lights that are part of the turn signal assembly as a DRL or installing some led strips in/on the bumper as DRLs and making them come on. Either is possible using an SPDT relay. You run a wire back to inside the cabin with a piggyback add-a-fuse so the circuit is fuse and find one that's only active when the ignition is switched on. If memory serves, I'm using a 10A circuit somewhere near the bottom of the panel. This then becomes the trigger wire to the relay so the relay only picks when the circuit is active. Then from that relay you run a wire to each positive light wire you want to illuminate (these might also need a diode to prevent current backflow), you need a 12v constant source for the relay, and a ground for the relay. Then whenever you turn on the ignition, the relay will send power to those lights.
This is what I did with the 958 lights I installed in my 957 Turbo S. I'm using the integrated while LED fog lights as DRLs and keeping regular fog lights in the lower bumper opening when I need low and wide beam lighting in fog (using PIAA LEDs though).
