Re: Day Time Running Lights - self-install summary
I recently learned the 45035 kit will also work, the difference is the 45035 runs the hi-beams at 60% reduction while the 45030 runs the low-beams at 24% reduction.
Not sure it makes much difference but perhaps the hi-beams might be more noticable, seems most OEMs use the hi-beams for DRLs. The hi-beam kit (45035) would draw 24watts while the low-beam kit (45030) would draw 42 watts so you'd be conserving a little engergy using the hi-beam kit although it's a negligable difference.
The biggest difference would be if you have fog lights and leave the button on all the time. Apparently the foglights tap into the power from the low-beam circuit so with the 45030 kit the fogs will be active. Of course if you use the 45035 kit this is not an issue since the fogs lights are automatically turned off by having the hi-beams on so you can leave the fog light button on all the time if you so desire.
