Wiring in DRL so they come on with ignition??

Hi guys looking for some help have a 2015 90 with LED headlights but the DRLs aren’t wired in and I wanted them to come on when I turn the ignition on not just the side lights?? Just seeing if anyone has done this or would know how to? And would be willing to help??

Thanks

I have DRL'S on a 2.4 Puma. They come on when the ignition is on. As I have a connection to the side light they go off when the lights come on. As they do not dip they would blind on coming traffic at night. If you want them on all of the time don't connect them to the side light. Mine are Ring Aurora. 1982 88" 2.25 diesel

If you fancy wiring them up yourself, here is the relay wiring.

ignition only= drl on
ignition+ side light = drl off

87a is the normally closed side of the relay contacts.
87 is the normally open side of the relay contacts.

You may find relays that only have 87a or only 87.. in that case make sure it has the 87a. 1988 90 Hard Top, 19J Diesel Turbo, Shire Blue - Restoration ongoing
