G'day Fellow Lancer owners :D
I'm going to be installing a pair of 'Daytime running lights' (DRL) strips on my Lancer very soon. At the moment I'm waiting for them to come from the US. I got the idea from seeing Audis, Holden Clubsports and Deanos car with them. Not only do they make the car look cooler, but it's also a safety tool. :P So why not? get one? :D

After doing a bit of research reading Deano's post and talks with my new friend Sam, I've come to the conclusion that I will be purchasing a pair of 1ft DRLs and installing them onto the car.
Originally, I was going to replace the VR fog lights with the DRLs. But it turns out that we can't use DRLs as fog lights since they're not powerful enough and the cops will be on my back about it too.
So, what we're doing now is (again) Deano's idea: Putting the strips ON (and above) the fog lights so I can keep both lights.
However, there's one more thing I need help with before buying and installing them. Sam said the following:
If you want them on with the Ignition, but want then to go off when the other lights are turned ON .... then they have to be wired through a Relay connected with the wiring that already feeds the Parkers Main Beam Lights.
Would this be something I would be able to do with instructions? Or is this something that a Technician should do? Because I want to make it so I can turn them off when nighttime comes.
There's this tutorial:

Would it be similar to that?
Where can I get information to install the strips? :D
