I CAN'T SLING OUT A FIX

I DID GET YOU 2 DIAGRAMS

THE 1ST IS "WITH DAYLIGHT RUNNING LIGHTS" (WDRL)

THE 2ND IS "WITHOUT DAYLIGHT RUNNING LIGHTS" (W/O DRL)

THESE ARE REALLY SIMPLE DIAGRAMS, MAYBE SOMETHING WILL "JUMP OUT AT YOU" WITH WHICHEVER DIAGRAM IS YOUR SYSTEM

IF YOU NEED ADDITIONAL HELP, I'LL ATTEMPT TO FIND YOU SOMEONE MORE CAPABLE

SOUNDS LIKE A HEADLIGHT SWITCH
