LED Daytime running lights?

[73Vetteman]

we all do buddy

Don't know what happened to a post I just made explaining I found a way of modifying it to function correctly in all ways with my hid converted headlights.
Message me if you need more information. For 2015 through 2017 Tahoe and Subs. Requires 3 relays, cutting, and soldering.

@73Vetteman I’ve been experiencing the same issue today as well.

For the DRLs, are you using the LED strip’s supply wire to activate a relay that will supply it a full +12v? I wonder if that would also increase it’s intensity and match that of the LTZ.

I have a 2017 Tahoe and I was mad that the DRLs don’t work during the day. I am considering ordering the Gen5Diy harness kit. Does anyone know if the harness works with LED headlights?

I found this video...

guy claims the Gen5DIY kit is not well made and he created his own solution. Hard to read his schematics but essentially uses some relays to change the switchology.

@73Vetteman, what did you end up doing?

The LED strip is slightly dimmer than the strip used on the LTZ models but the difference is hardly noticeable. A code cancelling capacitor can be purchased for about $10 or a 4700 uf capacitor must be used on the headlight input to filter the PWM signal or the relay will buzz. This circuit is made for HID lights but will also work for halogen or LED headlights if wired to them.

This circuit allows everything to operated EXACTLY like the LTZ.

Awesome! Thanks @73Vetteman.

Well done!
