I just purchased a new 2014 EXL CVT 4 cyl and I didn't realize that the DRL were only available on the V6. The EXL 4 cyl has the same lamp pattern and I'm wondering if there is any way to activate these lights on my model?

 

Welcome to the forum. I moved your thread to the DIY section, as we no longer use that section for help questions.

 

The hardware is different between your Accord vs. Accords with the parking light/DRL (LED).

From comparing the circuit diagrams for equipped models; the lenses housing includes LEDs, different wiring and harness connectors, a DRL relay specifically for the parking light/DRL (LED). Non-equipped models do not include them.

 

Thank you for posting this in the correct forum and for the quick reply.

That being said, it's disapppointing to understand that this isn't possible on my model.

I'm still curious to know if the dealer can mod the car to make this option available on my model. I assume it's not cheap, but worth finding out.

 

I doubt the dealer will even attempt to try to figure whether this can easily work if the car didn't come with it.

Looking at just some of the parts costs for a V6, without any labor.

• HEADLIGHT ASSY., R. 33100-T2A-A11 retail $414.54; online (w/o shipping) $298.48
• HEADLIGHT ASSY., L. 33150-T2A-A11 retail $414.54; online $298.48
• WIRE HARNESS, ENGINE ROOM 32200-T2G-A00 retail 597.33; online $430.08 (Honda only sells the engine room wire harness with fuse box, etc.)

Total Parts retail $1,426.41; online (w/o shipping) $1,027.04 There may be other parts still needed. No labor included.

An independent retrofit with LEDs, relay, wiring/splicing and connectors may be more feasible, if you can find someone with the skills and knowledge.
