Nice diagram!
Are you saying you have to equip your vehicle with DRLs even when it was not factory equipped to conform to the law?

Luckily my car did not come with it. I think here in the US it is illegal to disable the DRLs if the vehicle is factory equipped with it.

Some vehicles use the high beam at a reduced intensity (PWM) for DRL.

My wife's 2000 GMC Jimmy turns off the DRL when the turn signal is used. (might be a fluke but I saw it when she followed me once).

Also here they are hooked up to where there has to be daylight (sensor on dash), the vehicle has to be shifted out of park,and the parking brake can not be set in order for them to come on! Makes it hard to check for one person if looking for a burned out DRL bulb. (I'm only familiar with GM vehicles).

Lastly I love your switches! What are they all?
