Daytime Running Lights (IX EVO)
Hopefully this is a bit simplier:
1. Remove factory plugs from fog lights, move aside as they are not needed for now.
2. Remove fusebox cover and radio fuse. There is a small yellow box containing two small fuses. The one closer towards the fire wall is the radio fuse, this is the one you want.
3. On the passenger side fog light, connect one prong off the light (doesn't matter which one) to a ground, using a spade connector on the prong, and a circle connector around a bolt as a ground. On the other prong of the passenger side head light, hook a connector on there, and run a wire from that prong, to a prong on the drivers side light.
4. Once you have found the wiring diagram for the relay you picked up, connect one wire from the other prong on the drivers side light onto the correct prong on the relay.
5. Run the wire to the appropriate prong on the relay to the battery, 12v power.
6. Run a wire from the fuse in the fuse box, to the prong on the relay to trigger the relay.
7. Run a wire from the relay to a ground.
Try it out. It depends on what relay you buy but you'll be able to find a diagram online of which wires go to what.
I live in the Vancouver area, I'd be willing to do this for someone for a small fee or a case of beer.
I think the relay costed about 8 dollars, it was a 5 pin, the wire and connectors from Princess auto were only about 4 dollars.
Here is the outcome (I had the corner lamps on in this picture as well, yours will not be)
