Can you give us some details on it’s behaviors of the DRL?

right now without the harness hooked up my drl dances when I unlock only with ambient light is low or night time. It does not dance in broad daylight and it does not activate when locking.

Does yours dance in midday sunlight when unlocking and locking?

Activation sequence works for me when locking and unlocking. Complete darkness, with some light, and daylight. Worked every time.

Ok, that’s pretty rad. Now I’m considering adding the harness in. Was that part difficult? Do you feels it’s manageable with the grill back on? I do not feel like taking that thing off again.

You should easily be able to add the harness with the grill/bumper on.

The only things youll most likely have to remove are the intake piece and radiator cover. The ones held by flush push lock clips.

I also made small cutout for the fuse taps.

So as I expected.
With DRL harness - light sequence unlock, lock, full daylight and night.
Without the DRL harness - light sequence unlocking only and at low ambient or night time only.

is it just me or does Alpharex need to update their instructions.

They for sure need to update/add. Update so that both non-hybrid and hybrid are covered. Maybe a more indepth video too

I sent their tech support an email on Dec 4th. 10 days later nothing from them except some customer service person saying they will let tech support know and I should get information soon.

Don't hold your breath.
I let them know of some incorrectly written instructions and was told they would fix it.
Didn't get that reassuring feeling that they really cared.

Pretty disappointing. Maybe they don’t feel like they need to try and please their customer base because they have plenty to support their business.

dumb question from the non-electrical people …. Does the harness come with those “taps” and you just plug them into an empty fuse or how does that work? Do you need to do some basic wiring for the connector piece?

Not a dumb question all.

The "tap" should come with the harness. Remove the designated existing fuse from the fuse box and install it next to the new fuse that is supplied in the "tap".
Install the "tap" back in the same spot that you originally took the fuse from and you are done.

Which fuse did you tap into in this photo? Looks like towing igr which is 7.5 amp. Did you have to use the same amperage fuse or can you use lower amperage?
Also what are you powering with the 7.5 amp fuse tap?
