If you want DTRL to come on when you start the car without a switch is to tap into something that has power as you start your car. But if you want to be able to turn them on and off, then a relay, switch, and wire that has the same gauge as your headlights. it's does not have to be a heavy gauge wire.

What are "running lights"? How do you want them to work? Your question is vague.

some people call running lights the parking lights others call them the 4ways, I call 4ways the hazzards, DTRL's is sometimes called driving lights... I think he means parking lights, but maybe he means all external lights? idk?

Hence the confusion. Let me know exactly what you want to do, including which lights you want and how you want switches to control them.

I know some canadian models have the DTRL. So, I am pretty sure there's a circuit in the s13 chasis for those. Just use the FSM.

like the side markers in the front and the back and the tail lights and the jdm turn signals
reason for this may car has short in the tail light fuse box

gauge cluster does light up as well

Still confused on what your saying?
