Unless the DRL module contains the resistor or, uses PWM?
It is the components in a system that 'set' the current - and the voltage in any particular place as a consequence so it will be a lower voltage arriving at the bulbs that reduce their intensity.
What I'm not quite getting my head around is that to dim the bulb there would have to be a resistor - which will generate heat. I thought on first looking that the big finned thing was it but it is the diode and is on the switching side of things anyway. Unless the DRL module contains the resistor or, uses PWM?
I thought you'd cracked it with that but looking at the Haynes wiring diagram what I see for normal low beam operation is, from the dimmer switch, low beam is fed to through the DRL in its resting position and then to the headlamp.In the schematic that i posted for the 1995 DRL, it looks to me that the module controls the DRL relay. When it is activated, the power for the DRL comes from fuse 15 and if you follow the schematic, the hi beam lights are run in series. Regular lights are run in parallel. I think that accounts for at least some of the reduced brightness for the DRL.
Its not because of only one Province. DRL’s were mandated by the Transport Canada (The Federal Government ) and every new vehicle sold in Canada since 1990 has had them. Personally I think they are a great safety feature.all because one province in Canada requires them? LMAO it's also one of the smallest and has a very small population.
I'm sure there are places in the US that require DRL but I am unfamiliar with them.
after doing the 4 high and low mods I pulled the fuses from both trucks.
I however want to make my own DRL circuit but put it on a switch and use some different lights, not the headlights.

When the DRL relay is activated by the DRL control module, that connection is lost and the feed though the relay is now via fuse 15 and the diode. I think it is the diode that reduces the intensity of the dipped beams as DRLs - and would account for its generous finning. Also, there's no other reason for the diode and, as the control module controls the relay coil (not the outputted voltage) PWM would have the relay chattering.
What I can't explain though is how my low beams can work with the DRL relay absent as its 'resting' position is the conduit for normal low beam operation (and has to be disrupted for DRLs at reduced intensity) - unless this was catered for during my T62 DELETE DRL. Maybe someone can try removing their DRL relay and see if their low beams are still present or disappear.
The above from Haynes - I haven't checked that the schematic is the same or not though probably it is.
Anyone want to comment on my take on this?
EDIT PS.
Looking at the 'schematic, it doesn't have the diode in line between fuse 15 and the DRL relay as shown in Haynes and in the second repair video df2x4 posted.

I wish it had "faded out". More manufacturers than ever are foisting that crap on us.DRLs were a GM thing. They played it up like it was the greatest safety innovation since the seat belt. Some other manufacturers followed on, but it eventually faded out.
Depends on the vehicle. Some use low-beam headlights, some (real morons) use the high-beams. Others use non-headlight lamps on the front.If DRLs are what I think they are - they come on (front only? - which lights? - park or beams? dipped or main?) with the ignition and go off when lights are switched on via the dash switch (park or headlamps or both?)
Depends on the vehicle. In general, the newer the vehicle, the more-difficult it is to defeat the stupid things.are they deleted by merely pulling a fuse or connector or is a resistor or the likes required to keep the rest of the electrics happy?
Again, depends on the vehicle. Some don't use the headlights at all. But those that do, use lower-power so the headlights aren't "full" brightness.DRL illuminate the low beam headlights at half power or something like that.
PWM, far as I know.What I'm not quite getting my head around is that to dim the bulb there would have to be a resistor - which will generate heat. I thought on first looking that the big finned thing was it but it is the diode and is on the switching side of things anyway. Unless the DRL module contains the resistor or, uses PWM?
There's not one "scientific study" that's been peer-reviewed for errors and bias, that shows they do any good.Personally I think they are a great safety feature.
