Welcome to CL.

Best advice would come from the manufacturer (lumen).. they have a contact listed.

Check with them how to integrate with the existing DRL on RX.

FYI = the install seems pretty straight forward, but the wiring to a hot wire for DRL's or fuse box??

I wish I could agree with you. DRL in RX is high beam strung in series and when you turn the headlights on they turn off and when you turn on the high beam on, the two bulbs get +12v each for full brightness. When you apply parking brake the DRL turn off.

If you want an independent system then you might be better off.

Thanks Salimsha. I have tried to locate a fuse for the turn signals and park lights, but no luck. The only fuse box I can find is under the hood. I also checked the driver side kick panel and wiring, but not a fuse box. Any thoughts?

Thanks

Take the coin box (near driver left knee) out and you will see the fuses. You will need wiring diagram to figure out the right fuse that you want to tap into.

Yes, found the fuses behind coin box, but to no avail. I have since requested further instructions from Lumen and should have in couple of days. Also, got an estimate today fro auto shop for around $250 to install.

So, hoping Lumen instructions will allow me to do myself??
