Snerlo's R36 DRL Mk2 Installation

which circuit did you guys get your 12v power from?
My chinglish instructions have it going to the cigarette lighter on the interior fuse box.
Looks like the engine bay fuse box could be a better option.

Gotta go internal mate. I dont think that any of the fuses are switched in the engine bay. I went and piggy backed a fuse at the drivers side end of the dash. You can buy piggy back fuses from jaycar. Easiest way to do it. You come through a hole where the clutch would be in a manual car.

Cool thanks.
Tested the dimming, it actually works fine.

I have these DRL and I know exactly how they work.

Did you notice that every time you turn the ignition on the parker LEDs will blink a couple of times?(My MY10 does and oversea MY09 onwards does)

And these DRL turn on when the ignition is on, so when the parker blinks, the DRL will dim a few times as the parker blinks.

That's the bcm testing the circuits. It's expecting filament globes so pulses the globe to test continuity with low voltage. It's enough to turn on an led. You should see the tails on my octy at startup, its like a disco!

[Passat R36]

thats right. so if you connect the DRL's dim wire to parker, expecting the DRL will dim a few times.
