after getting a lot of wiring requests, i took the time to make an actual diagram for everyone. from what i know of the insight module and the ground-switched system our cars use, this is what i came up with. please note that i've never physically installed one prior to this diagram. this is not 100% guranteed to work until someone confirms that it does. i'm pretty sure i'll work though

the link above mainly shows how to wire JDM headlights using the H4 bulb as the low beam/high beam and the H1 bulb as a dedicated DRL. what about the people who have USDM headlights or those who don't want to use the dual filament on their H4 bulbs? they don't have a choice but to use their highbeam as the DRL. of course the main function of the highbeam should not be lost. here is where i come in.
DRL insight wiring legend:
Black = Ground
Red = 12 volts from battery
Pink = Ignition input (provides 12v only when the ignition is in the "ON" position)
Yellow = supplies low beams with reduced power from module
White = supplies module with disable signal when high beams are turned on
Orange = supplies module with disable signal when parking brake is on (this is optional)
the wiring below shows how to wire it though the result does NOT function like an OEM DRL would. my diagram has a manual switch so you can actually control when the DRL turns on (even when the lowbeams are on or the car is off). be careful not to leave it on when you leave!
if you would like it to function like an OEM DRL (no manual switch, on with ignition, off with lowbeams), simply connect the pink wire to a 12v ignition input and tap the white wire to the positive wire of the high beam wiring harness. the orange wire is optional.
some people, like myself, would like their DRLs on with the low beams and have some control over it. with the manual switch, you can accomplish this. i didn't use the white and orange wires since the use of the relays eliminates them. there probably is a relay inside the module itself but i used the external SDPT relays just to be safe. remember i never installed one before. the relays also enable the normal use of the highbeams!
please don't hesitate to let me know if i made a mistake somewhere or if my diagram can be simplifed. cpmike again i'm looking in your direction.
note from rebels:
here is the sheet cpmike made back in the day that is VERY helpful! hope this all helps you out.. and this is now a sticky.
