Applebees Appetizer posted:I have an electrical/wiring question for some of you electrical smarty pants lighting guys....I just purchased two OEM LED front bumper day time running lights for my xB, the problem is there is no OEM harness in my car so I have to buy a harness or make one. I'd rather not make one. That controller connects directly to the battery terminals. You need to run wires from the DRLs themselves to it and will probably need to extend any wiring that the DRLs already have in order to reach the controller. You can join the 2 DRLs wires in parallel to the single pair of wires on the controller.

Applebees Appetizer posted:Good question.....I'm assuming they do, don't most oem LED DRLs dim when the light are turned on? I don't think any of them just turn off do they? This is weird, nobody has done what I'm doing apparently because there's literally no information in any of the Scion forums about anyone else doing it.

Applebees Appetizer posted:Oh no one said anything about using a battery like that, if I get the leads backwards am I gonna risk frying the lights with that method? There are no markings for positive or negative on the lights.....Unfortunately I had to rob my smoke detector of it's 9v to power the multimeter and don't have another 9v at the moment. That first controller you listed will do the job just fine unless the DRLs are something weird that draws more current that it could support. It's piss-simple to install as long as you are competent enough to join two wires together. If you want further reassurance, post a photo of the DRL so we can see the connectors - but you can test the polarity with a 9V battery - heck if you have a 5v USB power with accessible wires, you can use that too

Just learnt that someone stole my portable jump starter and my little purse of car park change from my car. Any recommendations for a little lithium jumper pack? (Partly annoyed that I didn't notice it before, which means I must have left the car unlocked somewhere, partly happy that I don't have a busted window to deal with)

slidebite posted:Thieving fucks. everdave posted:I got one on Amazon labeled "Superpow" bc it was on sale for $30 regular $89. So far it has worked as advertised. I have jumped a 2JZ multiple times, a 2.4 diesel once and my friends Vespa like 20 times in a row while we were trying to get it to stay running. It was a bit bizarre: in a car park and I couldn't find the little bag of coins I keep for the meter and I was thinking that I must have left it in a jacket pocket. It was only when I checked the glovebox and noticed that the jumper pack was missing that I realised they'd been taken. Nothing else: not even the satnav which I am pretty sure was in the same cubbybox on top of the coins bag: guess they don't bother with stuff like that anymore.

You cling onto this sliver of salvation in much the same way as if you were a country with a terrible leader who was clinically obese and you learnt that he thought 'fine dining' was high chloresterol fast food.

What confuses me about poly relationships is the logistics. Like, if you are a threesome, being in the back when you do a long journey has got to be a bit of snub. Do you draw up a rota of who sits in the front and who sits in the back? Is it defined on a calendar basis or is there a points system: 3 trips to Walmart the back alone = 1 trip as shotgun to a music festival. Do you perform a Chinese fire drill at every 4th stop light?
