Hey guys,

So I recently did the DRL mod: https://www.evolutionm.net/forums/ev...rls-works.html

And in the last two weeks Ive blown two relays, I have the proper gauge wire and done the install just as outlined. The relays dont die while Im driving but fail after I turn the car off and forget to flick the light switch off. The lights do turn off after 3 seconds just like normal but after that the relay is dead and the lights wont turn on forcing me to reinstall the factory relay.

Im wondering has anyone had this experience? Or am I just using cheap relays?

Any advice would be great.

 

Hey Pete this is what you want. Or else you'll be blowing relays every few weeks.

jROX ftw.

 

Am I to assume that the relay mod that I didnt doesnt work then? Or is there something wrong with my setup. I really dont feel like shelling out 40 bucks for this setup unless completely necessary.

 

the relay mod works...

on my '07 outlander......4 years and about 60K miles with no problems.

my '08 gts was 1.5 years 18K miles no probs.

'09 ralliart 1.5 years 22k miles no probs.

our '11 outlander sport does not have DRL but does have "auto-on" headlights.

i did not do the relay to my '10 evo , do not mind DRL on this car for some reason.

you DO need to use a good quality 30 amp relay.

 

I also have not had any problems with this mod.... might want to double check everything again. Hope you get it fix.
