BIGEZ,
I'm working on a similar retrofit for the profile LED for DRLs and wondering how you wired the white drl line? I couldn't get mine to work for drls by tapping the red or black line on the led unit and ended up tapping the blk/blue line on the parking lights. Can you help?
Thanks.

BiGEZ,
Thanks for replying. Hmm need to look up SPDT relay. I was wondering if it was possible to get the white drl line to work with the stock 9005 line or something. Trying to see if I want to go that route eventually or keep it to my parking lights which doesn't look bad at all. I talked to TRS, and they said the hi lens profile was meant for a separate drl circuit. Here's my contribution and excuse my pale legs. :P

I figured out a way to get both the DRL and Hi beam on the Profile working. You will still need to use the SPDT relay to power the Profile DRL light anyway since the stock DRL only puts out 6 volts. The Profile units needs a full 12volt supply to operate the LED hence, the SPDT relay.
You will need to tee off the ground wire from each of the Profile units. One end of the ground wire goes with the Hi Beam wire from the Profile unit to a 9005 plug and connected to the stock Hi Beam plug. This will operate the Hi Beam when needed. The other ground wires are grounded to the chassis of the car.
The Profile DRL power wire will be connected to the SPDT relay 12 volt wire to provide the power for each unit.
I tapped into a fuse in the passenger side footwell that provides 12 volts when the car is running to trigger the SPDT relay. This way the Profile DRL will operate as long as the car is running.
Hope this helps with your install.
I will get some pics of the set I am working in a bit.

No brackets are needed to install the Profile DRL/Hi Bean unit the GS headlight assembly. Once you open the headlight there is a threaded shaft on the projector that goes in the opening where the bulb goes. You will then remove the bulb and other hardware and drill out the opening a bit to get the shaft to fit, fairly easy. The projector has the hardware to fasten it to the headlight. The reflector bowl remains intact to allow for adjustments just like stock. I worked with Nate at TRS got select the parts for this upgrade, they are local to me.
