Installing DRL on Renault Logan with your own hands. All schemes for connecting daytime running lights from where to take "control voltage"

On the territory of the Russian Federation for more than 8 years there are amendments to the rules road (PDD), in accordance with which moving vehicle In the daytime, the day must be designated by the headlights of the near light, fogy Farams (PTF) or daytime running lights (DRL). The use of head and fog headlamps for these purposes has a number of shortcomings. So drivers prefer to buy ready-made modules running lights And independently install them in your car. How to connect daytime running lights to ensure that their operation is safe and did not contradict the current laws?

Nuances of inclusion of running lights

Major prescriptions regarding installation, technical parameters and connecting running lights, listed in paragraph 6.19 GOST R 41.48-2004. In particular, the electric functional diagram of the DRL should be collected in such a way that the running lights automatically turn on when the ignition key is rotated (engine start). At the same time, they must automatically turn off if the headlight headlamp is turned on.

Clause 5.12 of the specified standard states that the headlights of the head light (FGS) should be included only after the inclusion of the dimensions, except for the submission of short-term warning signals. With an independent connection of the DRL, this feature must be taken into account.

Proper connection of DRL is not limited to a competently thought out functional scheme. It's time to remember the stabilization block for LEDs. In the running lights themselves, the role of the current limiter performs resistors, however, due to voltage drops, resistors cannot limit the current at one level. That is why the voltage stabilizer in the circuit of connecting the running lights is essential. Otherwise, the life of the LED modules of the DHL is significantly reduced due to constant onboard voltage drops. Some motorists declare that it is possible to connect the running lights without a stabilizer.

Connecting and installing a LED driver is an extra spending of time, because the DRL on the LEDs is regularly shining without any stabilization ...

However, this statement is easy to challenge. The fact is that each time the voltage jump on the LED module appears more than 12 V, the direct current through the LEDs exceeds the nominal value, which leads to overheating of the emitting crystal. The brightness of the LED decreases, such DRLs will no longer be able to perform their immediate task - from afar to prevent drivers of the counter transport, and over time they will begin to flicker and fail.

Use LED DRL without voltage stabilizer means throwing out every year at least several hundred rubles to new modules and spend time on their replacement.

For simplicity of understanding, the schemes below are shown without using the stabilizer.

Simple scheme

SAMI simple scheme Turning on DRL when starting the engine is shown in the figure. The plus wire is connected to the ignition lock "+" terminal. The minus the wire is attached to the machine body in a convenient place. In this form, the scheme has a significant drawback. LED running lights will radiate the light all the time until the ignition key turns. In addition, their work is not agreed with the work of the remaining headlights, and therefore does not meet the requirement of the GOST.

Inclusion through dimensions or near light

The second option of the DHL connection scheme involves to use the power circuit circuit of the overall light bulb. For this, the positive wire from the running lights is directly connected from the "+" from the battery. In turn, the minus wire is connected to the "+" of the overall fire, which is currently electrically neutral. As a result, the following current flow is formed: from the "+" battery through the LEDs to the dimension, and then through the light bulb on the body, which serves as the entire chain. Due to low current consumption (tens of MA), the LEDs begin to glow, and the lamp spiral remains redeemed.
If the driver turns on the overall lights, then on the plus the dimensions appears +12 V, the potentials on the wires of DLO are aligned and the LEDs are extinguished. The scheme goes into a standard mode, that is, the current flows through the light bulbs of the overall lights.

In this circuitry, there are several drawbacks:

• the running lights remain in operation when the engine is turned off, which contradicts the current rules;
• the scheme will not work if LEDs are also installed in the dimensions;
• the scheme will not work correctly if powerful SMD LEDs are placed in DRL, the rated current of which is commensurate with a light bulb;
• for the purpose of security, you must additionally install the fuse.

This connection method can be improved by connecting the plus wire of the LED module not from the "+" battery, but from "+" the ignition lock, thereby getting rid of the first drawback.
Some motorists use chassis circuits through the near light lamp. That is, when you turn on the near light, the DRL is automatically fell, and in other cases work. In addition to the above disadvantages, this method Does not comply with GOST R 41.48-2004 and traffic rules.

When parking a car in the dark, the overall lights are used to designate it, the use of DRD DDD is prohibited.

Connection After 4 Contact Relay from the Generator or Oil Sensor

The following two methods have a common foundation and imply the operation of daytime running lights only after starting the engine. The inclusion scheme of the DRL from the generator is based on switching four contact relays and Herrock.
Contacts Relay DRL plug in this way:

• 85 - on the positive wire to dimensions;
• 86 - on any withdrawal of Herkeon;
• 87 And the second withdrawal of Herckon - on the "+" battery.

After checking the reliability of all contacts, go to the setting. For this, the engine is created and, moving the germ near the generator, achieve its triggering and a stable glow of DRL. Then the germons hide in the thermal tube and with nylon screeds fixed in the found location.

At the time of the start of the engine, and then the generator closes the contacts of Herkeon and the relay, feeding the supply voltage to the LEDs of the running lights. In this case, the lamps of the dimensions remain disconnected, as the current through the relay coil is small to light them.

In the absence of Herrkeon, it is possible to power the DRL from the oil pressure sensor. In this case, the 86th contact is connected to the oil pressure lamp. The rest of the circuitry is duplicated.
Both schemes have a general drawback. They cannot be applied if LEDs are installed in the dimensions.

Connection through 5 Contact Relay

Now it's time to learn how to connect running lights through a relay with five contacts. The scheme is the most universal, and is collected in order to eliminate the shortcomings of previous options.
First, about connecting the relay for the DRL:

• 30 - on the positive conclusions of the LED modules;
• 85 - on the positive wire of the overall lamp;
• 86 - on the car body;
• 87a - on "+" from the ignition castle;
• 87 - Do not connect (insulate).

Works a diagram with five contact relays as follows. When turning the key on the DRL, the voltage is +12 V, thereby including them. If you turn on the overall lights or headlights of the head light, then the relay will open contact 87a and closes inactive contact 87. As a result, the DOW will go out, and the dimensions will turn on. The scheme fully complies with the requirements of GOST and PDD and can work with dimensional lights even on the basis of LEDs.

However, the scheme still has one negative point - the DRL will be turned on immediately after the rotation of the ignition lock. That is, if you turn the key in the ignition lock, but do not start the car, the DRL will burn.

Despite the existing flaw, the scheme is quite successful, but in order to properly connect the DRL after five, the contact relay will be necessary to supplement the diagram of the voltage stabilizer.

This inclusion option is interesting because the flow path through the running lights is independent. This allows you to install dimensional light sources of any type and power in the headlights of the dimensions and DRL.

DRL control unit

The most reliable and most simple is the option of connecting the DRL without a relay, but using a special control unit of the running lights. It ensures the inclusion of DRL after starting the engine, ensures safe operation, protects against overloads and can be installed on a car with any type of lamps, including LED.

Unfortunately, among the entire diversity of industrially manufactured blocks of DRM, the overwhelming part does not correspond to the GOST and has a mediocre build quality.

It concerns this, first of all, products with Aliexpress, which does not comply with the requirements for almost all the time.

In total, only 2 options can be noted among the variety: the Russian DAKO DAYLIGHT + control unit and German products from Philips and OSRAM. The DAYLIGHT + control unit is designed by the Russian radio engineer Isachenkov Fedor, taking into account all the features of the on-board network of the car and has a number of positive points:

• there is a built-in stabilization of voltage;
• full compliance with GOST;
• the maximum long-term load capacity is 36 watts (for DRL required significantly less);
• the simplest connection scheme.

In addition to the above moments, the Daylight + block is universal and is suitable for all cars with a 12 volt onboard network, and also has good assembly quality and high degree protection against moisture and dust.
German products from Philips and OSRAM also has all the above-described advantages of the Daylight + block, however, German control units are supplied only with the headlights of daytime running lights and have a higher cost.

Read the same way

So, today was collected as a result of the first and, I hope, not the last one (I think there will be refinement) Box for daylight (running lights). Shim (bought ready) but redid it, so it is not suitable for the car, the scheme turned out his own, but it does not have a special relationship.

The algorithm is next.

1. The car started (on the street light, the dimensions are turned off) automatically turns on the distant light in the "Pnapal" (actually much less). Dimensions, backlight numbers, instrument panels, buttons do not shine.

2. The car was muffled, everything was extinct.

3. If the dimensions (near) or light sensor included the difference (with dimensions), the entire head light goes into the standard operation mode.

4. Frigration mode with distant light saved.

+ (pluses)
1. Far light is configured parallel to the ground (in contrast to the near and PTF) that is, it can be seen at a greater distance.
2. The resource of the Middle Light lamps is higher, as they are used only at night.
3. Resource lamps far Light High, as they burn on low voltage.
4. Everything works in the machine, nothing needs incl / off.
5. The likelihood of mild light linses is small
6. etc

-(minuses)
1. It is necessary to install
2. The price is high enough

The device is black plastic box approximately 40 * 70 * 20mm. 6 wires come out of it.
1. + 12V after ignition, through a fuse
2. + 12V dimensions
3. REDUCED LIGHT LIGHT (2 of them)
4. Mass.
5. Oil pressure sensor (or handbrake)

+12 Volt after Ignition, take according to Al. Sheme here:

Here we need the yellow wire (red arrow) and oil pressure sensor (blue arrow). I myself am block 1337 (black box) did not take it, but it was picked up to the wire. The truth had to be unscrewed and move the platform under the battery.

About connected.

I connected with the help of rubber couplers (red boxes in the photo). They allow you to connect to passing wires quickly and reliably. Continue the mass, 2 distant and dimensions. We put everything neat

Check, everything works. (Distance about 25m, sowing):

1 - near (almost not visible), 2 - regular far (with neighboring), 3 - reduced voltage, 4 - even less (3 volts)

The result is satisfied, everything works as planned, so as not to blind, exhibit the voltage of 3 volt (last photo) then the power of 2 lamps is only about 7 watts.

I also liked that when the engine is jammed "walkers" immediately fuck, unlike the closest that turns off, only when you open the door.

Scheme

The end.

Mileage on DRL ~ 25 thousand km Flying is excellent.

As many people are known, on Renault Megan 3 there are lamps of the DRM in the spotlight, but not all of them are connected and work. In some trim, it is possible to turn on the on-board computer.

Connection methods DRL on Renault Megane Several - can be connected in parallel with dimensions or using a separate relay so that the lamps of the DRM on the megane are turned on after the ignition is turned on.

In this photo report, consider connecting DRL using the relay and installation of LED lamps.

Lamps DRL have a base - P21W

The relay is required here (in any parts of the spare parts)

5 contact

Also necessary:

• terminal
• power and corrugation wire - about 2 meters
• mama dad connector
• fuse
• soldering iron and skills to handle it

Relay Connection Scheme:

The fuse housing itself and the relay can be hidden in the relay unit under the hood on the left side. In the same place to take the main (+), pre-check it to be after switching on the ignition. Next, collect and digest according to the scheme. Check the work.

Red is indicated by the "plus" from the dimensions to the DRL. Also, the photo is marked in blue "signal", to "pick up" from the left side.

Red - nutrition "+ 12V" for DRL - We carry out with the right headlamp to the left headlamp (to the connector), blue - in the photo the right headlight (left was uncomfortable to be photos), but we take contact with the dimensions and draw on the left headlight!

Bare end of the wire (+ 12v for DRL) with Right Fare We carry through the radiator panel and draw to the left phary on the same principle. And the same wire will go on the relay, only with the left headlamp we take the signal wire with the dimensions and lead to the relay, to watch the scheme below.

Relay Connection Scheme:

You can take a lot of accumulator, but keep in mind that this wire you still lead to the relay.

The fuse housing itself and the relay in this report author "hid" in the relay block, black, on the left side. In it, we take the main plus, previously called, in order to turn on only when the ignition is turned on.

And now more Procedure for working with block:

Green dotted - wiring setting into the block. We are laid, in the cable-channel hides, only "+ 12V" running on DRL and "+ 12V" signal from the dimensions taken by us from the brand left headlamp. We lead them on the relay!

Relay and fuse housing hide in the relay and fuse block

According to the numbers: 1. Green - "+ 12V" from the engine head, yellow wiring with a white terminal, solder and pull through the fuse towards the relay; 2. Blue - "-", we take a lot of the same with terminals and pull to the relay; 3. Lilac - signal "+" with dimensions, pull to the relay, in turning on the dimensions or neighbor DRL, turned off; 4. Red - feeding "+ 12V" We drive from the relay to the Lamps of the DRL.

For comparison, the light of a simple lamp and LED

In this case lED bulbs Stand everywhere

Means passive security - Daytime running lights: Over the past decades, they tried to make them a mandatory attribute of movement. The relevant requirements were included in traffic rules or published in the form of separate decrees. However, the innovations were rapidly canceled: there was no corresponding automation on budget cars of the domestic auto industry, and the headlights of the near light, first, did not provide a sufficient brightness of the glow, and, secondly, instantly discharged acb.

Passive security requirements - European level

DRL has become popular with the advent of foreign cars equipped with electronic controllers, computers and diode light emissions. New generation cars have attached an additional representativeness. Machines equipped with additional light-fired passive safety devices are much more visible on the roads than the rest. Renault Megan offered by Russian dealers is supplied without DRL.

There are several possibilities to equip Megan with additional light alarm:

• install DRL in the service center;
• mount them yourself;
• equipped with fog lights - them, according to traffic rules, allowed to be used as a running.

It seems the most functional integrated option: to equip Megan and fog lights and DRL. The reason is that each lighting element performs too different functions and is operated in different conditions. If a high power is required from the fog, providing additional illumination, the warning front headlights should be economical and automatic - to turn on and off and off.


It is easy to integrate the lighting elements into the bumper simply - it has the corresponding nests, and the casing of the plafoids is equipped with holders. A more difficult task is to ensure the launch of the DRL together with the beginning of the movement. Include them in the megan electrical circuit, you can: For this purpose, you need to use the control lamp indication of the battery life of the battery.

Functions automatic inclusion

The headlights should light up at the time of turning off the control lamp - when the engine is started, and with the inclusion of the near light, they must go out.

Such a connection scheme requires minimal refinement of the electrical circuit Megan: additionally, one five-pin relay, a response terminal, a couple of wire meters, will be required.

Assembly technology: Five conductors sold out to the contacts of the response terminal of the relay. The wiring is performed as follows:

• contact 30 connects to the terminal bu - signal of the operating engine;
• contact 86 - with one of the overall lights;
• contact 88 - with DRL lamp connector;
• contact 85 - with mass (contacts 85 and 86 can be changed in places).

In the scheme, it is desirable to install a fuse designed for limit current 5 A.
The daytime running lights themselves are included in parallel, their corresponding contacts are connected by a pair of wires.

As a mass terminal (-), you can use the appropriate connection of the battery. All connections must be securely connected, for this, the edges of the wires are better to clipped with petal tips. Switching points that are outside the instruments and elements isolate: put on them mounting elastic tubes (PVC). If necessary, the chain is equipped with togglers that allow you to disconnect the lighting equipment in manual mode.

Characteristics and requirements

The power of the light element in DRL can be about 3 W: the headlight equipped with such a lamp shines with sufficient brightness. At the same time, the power of the combined lighting devices is less than the regular Renault bulbs almost 10 times. Different modifications The lamps are completed with 15 - 75 LEDs.

Requirements for installation of DRL are designed to meet international standards. Renault devices are installed at a height of 25 to 150 cm. Between the right and left lighting element, the interval is at least 60 cm. From the extreme point of the car to attaching the housing, the distance should be less than or equal to 40 cm.
