Oem drl

Hello,
Does anybody have the installation instructions including wiring diagram for the dealer fit DRL's.

Not sure what exactly you are asking here. DRL's are on all versions of the CX-5, different for vehicles equipped with tech, but still there. Now, are you talking about Fog Light DRLs (which are not a dealer fit option here in the US)? Be a bit more specific, I know quite a few users here have installed Fog light DRL's.

I'm after the installation instructions for the dealer fit drl, the ones at the bottom of the front bumper, I have them fitted but they go off when I turn on the headlight and apply parking break. I want them to stay on during these two, so I am after the wiring instructions to see where they are connected to.

If you manage to do it, please let us know how, that is what I would like to do.

That's exactly how the normal (headlight) DRLs work, in a car without LEDs. So they are obviously using the standard DRL power circuit. To change the operation you'd have to rewire them to use the Accessory (switched) voltage supply.

Yea, oddly enough I could have sword at one time on my 2013 I could turn my Fog lights on with my park lights, but I noticed one day you can't. And it's the same on my 2015 so I must have imagined it. Sorry, I don't have a solution for your dilemma as I've never messed with that wiring. What baron said, except I doubt the dealer will be willing to non oem wire and OEM item. Try an audio shop they usually install hids and such they probably would.

I got a similar question... How are the DRLs wired? Im looking to do a Bi-xeon retrofit on Non Tech headlights. I want the drls to work like normal but I need the High Beam circuit to control the solenoid on the projectors. I can unplug the DRL fuse and everything works the way I want but loose my DRLs witch i still want.

Just a thought, but you may not like it...

Use a fuse tap in the DRL fuse position then use the second fuse output as a trigger to a relay coil that INTERRUPTS the power to the high-beam shutter. Thus when DRLs are on, your shutter will be closed. This presupposes that the DRL supply is OFF when the high beams are ON - which you'll have to confirm first.

think I figured out what I am going to do. In the wiring diagram when the DRLs are on it runs a straight circuit through the left headlight and grounds through the right one. But when the highs are on it grounds through the DRL relay for Left and uses the same ground on the Right.

So if I cut the wire coming out of the DRL relay and ground the side going to the left headlight then run new wire coming from the relay to new pigtales for my DRLs the would be seperated. (I think)

Here is the diagram.

Looks, to me, like that would work.
