Renault Megane II 1.6 - Locate Plus Wire for Connecting Daytime Running Lights After Ignition

Best answers

Where can I find an ignition-switched +12V wire under the hood of a Renault Megane II 1.6 for connecting daytime running lights?

The thick yellow wire going to the UPC module next to the battery is the ignition-switched plus [#16286525] You can connect the DRLs there, and there is no need to deactivate the factory lighting system [#16286525] If the switch is in the "auto" position, the dusk sensor will switch on the dipped beam after dark and the DRLs will turn off [#16286525] Another suggested source is the fuse box under the hood, where you can usually find a suitable ignition-fed circuit [#16284875] One reply also mentioned the stop-light fuse or taking power from a lamp, but the UPC yellow wire was the most specific location given [#16289741]

    look in the fuse box. You can easily find something there. Besides, most DRLs activate when the alternator is energized, yours aren't?

    It works on the principle that I have a dusk sensor on the windshield and during the day when I drive, the lights do not shine and when it gets dark, the dipped beam automatically turns on

    The question is about automatic daytime running lights.
    How do yours work?
    Maybe the plus after ignition is unnecessary?

    1. This is the factory sensor
    2. Today the lights have come and I'm planning installations tomorrow and I read on the internet that you need to ignite after the ignition, otherwise under the battery it would shine non-stop

    If I read correctly, you must deactivate the factory low beam with a dusk sensor. And then install those DRLs. You have ignition like a colleague above.

    The thick yellow flying to the UPC module next to the battery is ignition.

    You do not need to deactivate anything, the lights in the "auto" position and after dark, the factory sensor will turn on the dipped beam and turn off the daylight (because they will get a signal from the position)

    And can you give a photo or accurately determine the location of this wire in which you need to stick?

    You can take the lamp but you have to remove the bumper.

    Or to the fuse from the stop under the hood.

    Only in the car they go out after opening the driver's door, not after turning off the engine.

Topic summary

✨ The discussion revolves around locating a wire under the hood of a Renault Megane II 1.6 to connect daytime running lights (DRLs) after ignition. Participants suggest checking the fuse box and specifically mention a thick yellow wire leading to the UPC module next to the battery as a suitable connection point. The conversation also touches on the vehicle's built-in automatic light system, which includes a dusk sensor that activates low beams in low light conditions. Users clarify that the factory sensor can remain active while installing DRLs, and some seek further details, including photos or precise locations for the wire connection.
