I can see you have put a lot of thought into this project.

Can you post in this thread, some of your "Why Did I Build It" text from your post in Engineering Notes? I suppose European readers will understand the purpose immediately. I'm in the US and I'm still trying to understand.

1) Is this easier than building DRLs using LEDs?

2) Cars with EPES or alternator delete, running only on a dep cycle battery, will usually operate below 13V so will not activate the DRLs using the 13.5V detection circuit.
