Converting 2003 Lexus 470 to daylight running lights

Oct 14, 2006 20 Replies

Sorry to tell you but those are not the same as Canadian daytime running lights. The headlights in Canada are the daytime running lights. However they are usually set at about 70% strength rather than full illumination. In my opinion the best way to do so is to install a simple circuit to the battery posts with a fuse, and a switch onto an oil pressure sensor. This way the lights come on when the car has oil pressure. When I install such an item, I don't bother with a 70% ratio. I just put the lights on 100%. The running lights that are for sale in the website you mentioned do not work the head lights. They only illuminate the turn signal lights. I suppose it's better than nothing but compared to the headlights, it is almost nothing.
