[QUOTE="wew lad, post: 8567679, member: 665412"] yeah my DRL's are actually unplugged, so that might be a good source. except they turn off at night. so no, not a good source. i dont think your DRL's are on when your night headlights are on... are they? idr mine doing that ill probably splice in just about anything because i guarantee you thats what some of these fools do, but i might not need to because during diagnosis with resistors and lights in line with the L excitation wire I cannot no matter what get the alternator to excite. thinking i have an internal short. just a heads up for those confused, I want a switched power source ONLY to excite the relay, NOT to run anything. The relay IS the aftermarket circuit you're referring to, but it has to be excited somehow unless i run a switch (yeah no) [/QUOTE]
