#1: Drl problem. Author: mehoolkmusic, Location: Northamptonshire/BedfordshirePosted: Mon Mar 31, 2014 1:51 pm ---- So I've wired my drl lights with a 30amp 5 pin relay, problem im shaving is the lights wont turn on. I've wired it as this
Pin 30 - ignition (I used a wire in the electric mirror switch, tested it with a lamp tester and when i turn the ignition it lights up)
Pin 85 - using the side light + to switch the drl off when main lights are on
Pin 86 - ive earthed this, to the nut under the headlamp
Pin 87 nothing
Pin 87a to my fogs (Drls)
I can hear the relay clicking so i know its not that, I've changed the bulbs in my fog lights so its not them. Thank you

I also wouldn't trust the wiring from the electric window switch as it passes through the BSI. A better location for your switched +ve is from behind the ignition switch.
Have you replaced your fog lights with DRLs or are you going to be driving around with your fog lights on?

Gonna look again tomo, and the fog lights have led lights inside them bud
And i want them to work when i have the car running and when i turn the side lights on the Drls switch off. Last edited by mehoolkmusic on Mon Mar 31, 2014 4:36 pm; edited 1 time in total

Try taking it from the cigarette lighter. To make a test, you can run with a +30 from battery/radio to check if the problem is the feeding...

Author: mehoolkmusic, Location: Northamptonshire/BedfordshirePosted: Tue Apr 01, 2014 2:48 pm ---- Success, turned out to be a ground problem, i ground both lights to the nut by the light with terminal 85 plugged into the relay. And took the power from the electric mirror switch. Pops said it will be okay there, suppose he's right after working with Peugeot for over 20 years! Thank you all for your help, ill do a how to write up soon! And get some pictures of my new car!

The small wire on alternator gives 12V on running engine (to turn off light in cockpit), if you use this on pin 30, youll'have DRL turning on just with running engine. I assume it's better to put another relay on the line to prevent damages to alternator.
85 to alternator
86 ground
30 +12V (permanent or switched)
87 DRLs (or 85 pin of your previous relay)

To turn DRLs off when sidelights are switched on, would it be 87A to the sidelight +12ve?

85 from alternator
86 to ground
30 from +12V (switched or permanent, no differences)
87 to pin 30 of your existing relay (don't put 12V from mirror switch here, connect the rest as your previous wiring)
