DRL tap

[Mettalicron]

Hey! Have some projects to add some lights to my front bumper that have the ability to run a DRL. I have a 12v battery setup already but want the ability to turn the new lights DRL function when the cybertrucks DRL light turns on.

is there an available module to tap into the DRL?
I am aware this “Light” has a module but wondering if anyone had just the module available?

Tesla's electrical design is far different and vastly more sophisticated than any other OEM; I would explicitly avoid tapping any power or communication feed outside of the accessory ports that were created for us to use in the frunk and the rooftop.

You can cause all kinds of issues otherwise. Also, there are 48v lights available. you don't have to downgrade to 12v.

Its not downgrading i need i already have a 12v system under my frunk. just a source for a relay to say “oh trucks on i should turn on” then draw power from my 12v to turn on these lights DRLs

You could hook up a relay with a luminosity sensor run up to where the DRLs are if you want to avoid tapping into the harness.
