Hey,

I need a bit of help wiring my DRL relay. It has 4 wires coming out of it. One goes to the DRL+, one to DRL- and the other two I need help with... One needs to go to the parking lights+, need to know which wire is that in the headlights and the other wire can be connected to any wire, that has 12V after starting up the car, so which one is the easiest? I am not much of a technical dude when it comes to cars... My citroen is a 2003 model... Thank you

Hi 1Scotty1, there are a couple of topics that mention adding DRL to the C3

this one has some general advice Citroen C3 fitting DRL


and this one has some diagrams on and is still currently a 'work in progress' and needs some feed back

The thing is, I don't know how to use a multimeter, that's why I just need photos on which wires I need to connect, and done. So the parking lights wire and whichever has 12V after ignition

That's all I have seen on here, maybe someone else can do even more? But Arfurs post has quite a fair bit of information :x
