So it, s time to replace my tie rods. What's the difference between these 2? One says it comes with inner and outer tie rods but it doesnt say anything about tie rod ends. The other one comes with tie rods and ends and it's cheaper http://www.enjukuracing.com/products...B47%7DG35.html or http://www.autocityimports.com/0307-...it-p-9242.html

Terminal #7 will never have power except when DRL's are running, and it's plugged in.
At this time power will flow through that terminal. What you'd be measuring at terminal #7 at this time would actually be like measuring voltage drop, which is why you see half voltage, because the power has already flowed through one of the High beam Bulbs, sending the rest of the voltage through the DRL module, out terminal #8, and through the Left High beam bulb, and finally to chassis ground over at the left Headlight ground.
Terminal #6 will never have power with it unplugged unless you turn on the High Beams, then you'll have battery voltage at that wire.

Yeah I would expect to see half voltage at 7 when its plugged in, but I wouldnt have a way to measure it using my probes.
If I can prove that 7 is shorted to 8 (when DRL mode is on) and there is ~ 2.6 ohms between 7 and 6, ~ 2.6 ohms between 8 and ground and 7 is not connected to 8 when lights are turned on, I would be happy. Just realized that there will be no inputs to the module when I unplug it though lol.
Maybe I can just jerry rig something, put a piece of wire in with it when I plug it in.
Regardless, from what Ive seen, I think this solution is bang on for what I am looking to do.

Once you connect the wire off #7 on the Headlight side to ground, you will have Fog light on the Right side.
Once you splice the wire from the headlight side of #6 into the wire for #8, you will have all your high beams, fog lights, etc working again, and no DRLs.
Then you just grab the DRL module side of #6 and hook it to whatever you want to Light up as DRL's, ground the other end of the lights to Chassis, and you're done.
If you hit any snags or have any questions PM me, this is getting to be waaaay too much for this thread. Good luck!!
OH and don't forget to disconnect the Ground before doing all this, don't want to burn up that DRL module!

You basically just have to release the pins from the connector, that will leave a bunch of loose wires instead of a harness. You can then pull out your original mirrors, including the wires connected to the heat plate and install them into the new mirrors. Pay careful attention to where the wires were though. Take notes on the position of every wire in the connector.
I did this to remove the mirrors from the base when I had them painted.
You may want to change out the mirrors in any case, as the JDM one will be reversed (The curved mirror will be on driver side rather than passenger)
There is a DIY somewhere that I followed. Look up removing mirror bases or diy painting mirror bases or something. Go through all the pages as the DIY isnt on the first page.

tilt uses 3 wires
heater uses 2 wires
Fold uses 2 wires
So No matter how you slice it you will need to do some wiring if you want everything to work.
Also jdm Mirrors don't have .heat
