No need to trick the module, you can just utilize the DRL "relay" circuit you just hacked. The White/Green wire you chopped at pin 1 is what you need. Along with a standard Bosch Relay. Here is the sequence that will allow the DRL(Halo) circuit to stay on with the headlights, while NOT grounding T1 externally. I don't know if that would be a problem, but let's just not go there.
First you need to re-chop the wire from T1. Then...
Connect the following:
White green wire you "chopped" to terminal 86 on the Bosch Relay.
T1 wire to T87a on the Bosch Relay
Power source you used for the Halo to T85 on the Bosch Relay.
Ground side of Halo to T30 on the Bosch Relay
T87 directly to ground.
87a and 30 are connected when the relay is at rest, so ground for the Halo will be supplied by the DRL module via T1.
When you turn on the headlights, the DRL relay grounds the White/Green wire at T86. Because T85 is powered, this will activate the Bosch relay.
With the relay activated, the T30 disconnects from 87a, taking the module out of play. T30 is then connected to 87 which is grounded, supplying ground to the Halo.
Easy as pie!

Sorry if this is a dumb question but how does it shut off?
Will I still be able to shut off my DRL's with the switch I spliced into the wire at pin12?

Yes, Pin 12 is the power source for your DRL's right? If you turn it off it won't matter if you have your headlights on, they won't have power. And of course if you turn the key off, they should power down as well.

Well I don't have DRL on either of my 3rd gens, so I can't help you with the video. Why don't you tell us what year you have and tell us EXACTLY what you are trying to accomplish and we can try to help you. Unfortunately this post is over a year old and my old brain has to be retrained weekly so I'll have to look closely and try to answer your questions. However I'll be away for the next 10 days so I will recommend the east coast go to member,
@ TheDurk
to help you in the interim. Or wait til I get back!

I have a 2001 SR5 and I know it is old and I do apologize for how late I'm coming into this but I would like some help. I somewhat understand what you guys are saying. But I can't picture it out in my head. An that makes it hard for me to fully understand it. Even pictures would help.
