Daytime Running Lights (projection headlight conversion)
Does anyone know if the DRL's can be changed from my headlights to the turning markers? I want to do a projection headlight conversion, but where I live, drl's are required by law. I figure if I change my drl's from the headlights to those, like when you pull on the headlight switch one click, that should cover my bases.

I think it would be illegal to the cops,And look to see if adding hids is legal or not for you.Some places adding hids to anything that didn't have them factory is illegal.

+1 on the HIDs. There are a lot of ways to do it wrong. Are you just looking for more light output? There are a ton of other options like a harness upgrade and H4 conversion. However the harness relays don't keep DRLs either.
Are you trying to pass an inspection where DRLs are looked for just not pulled over? I just turn my lights on to the first click and run the side parking lamps every time I drive.
The DRL module in these things are tricky: they sends about 4 volts into the low beam fillament. If you want to retain that with anything other than the stock configuration you'll need a relay with a very low voltage control side and have to do some wiring.
