LED Daytime running lights?

[Bamnkam]

I have a 16' Z71 Suburban. The LED's are only on when parked, parking lights manually turned on and/or the auto headlights. During daylight, the LED's turn off and the headlights come on....... I want the LED's on during daylight. I ordered the below harness today and going to try it:

Wow please let me know if that works. I guess the important question is if it bumps up the brightness. I've noticed that the LTZ's DRL is brighter when they're on by themselves than the LT's "Parking light" DRL.

Let us know how the install goes and maybe a photo.

Just read that they don't work with aftermarket HID kits. :/ unfortunately for me, hid's are more important than the DRL's. If I could have both, that'd be nice.

This was a huge let down......you order your suburban thinking you will have LED DRL's only to take delivery and not have them.

Only on the LTZ. Lame.

They are SO bright on the LTZ too. What a letdown.

No, the brightness is exactly the same. If you really want them on during the day, the simple workaround is to turn your fog lights on. The LEDs come on with them.

I don't have fogs. Also, i could have sworn that the brightness on the LTZ DRL led strips were brighter than the 'parking brake' LT ones. Are there any side by sides?

No, they are not the same! The LED DRL'S on the LTZ are twice or three times as bright as the running lights on the LT. Not even close.

You can check out this harness:

LED power will be the same power as nighttime power and will not have the brighter LED, that the LTZ has, due to the fact that the LTZ headlights are actually different. Nightime function will remain the same, you just gain the added look of the LED's during the day. There is no programming needed and install is very simple.

Few months old but how'd this harness turn out?
