    I'm throwing on my S8 bar tomorrow and I'm wondering if I can run it specifically into this setting on the selector stalk:

    I usually run the standard DRL setting during the day and don't want the S8's ambers always on and also don't want them on when the headlights are. Anyone know what wires I'd need to tap into for this?

    TAIL circuit for ON on added lights. But DRL don't turn OFF in that setting. You'll need a relay to cut off power to added lights when selecting headlights.

    Thank you! Did you work all that up just for me? We wired in the bar but haven’t decided what to do with the backlight right now. It’s on hold for the moment.

    We put a second wire into the cab and might just hook it up to a switch at some point :oops: Sorry to make you go through that work but I'm sure others will find it of benefit :cheers:
