2 Answers
Daytime running lights should be connected to the ACC fuse. Here are the specific details: 1. Introduction to Daytime Running Lights: Audi's daytime running lights are LED lights. 2. Function of Daytime Running Lights: The purpose of daytime running lights is to make vehicles more easily recognizable during daytime driving. Their primary function is not to help the driver see the road better, but to alert others that a vehicle is approaching. Therefore, these lights are not for illumination but serve as signal lights. 3. Purpose of Daytime Running Lights: Installing daytime running lights can make a car look cooler and more stylish, but their greatest benefit lies not in aesthetics but in enhancing the vehicle's visibility. Using daytime running lights can reduce vehicle accidents by 12.4% and lower the fatality rate in crashes by 26.4%. In summary, the main purpose of daytime running lights is to improve traffic safety.
Oh, when it comes to the fuse for daytime running lights (DRLs), my experience is that it varies by car model. For example, I've driven several cars and found that DRLs are usually connected to the fuse box inside the vehicle, which might be located under the steering wheel or in a small compartment on the door side. Each fuse has a number, and you can find its exact location in the user manual—for Japanese cars, it might be labeled "DRL" or "Daylight"; for German cars, you might need to check the fuse box in the engine compartment. My advice is to first dig out the vehicle manual—don’t be lazy and guess randomly, as connecting the wrong fuse could damage other components. The fuse’s role is to protect the circuit from overload. If the DRLs suddenly stop working, first check if the fuse has blown. When replacing it, just make sure to choose the correct amperage. This reminds me of the importance of safe driving—DRLs improve visibility, so don’t tamper with the factory wiring unless necessary to avoid potential hazards. My older brother once had an accident due to improper wiring, so a thorough check can save you both money and trouble.
