Just as a warning, this is my first post and my first time attempting this kind of wiring so please forgive my inexperience in advance.
So I have an accord which I'm trying to get some drl's I installed to stay on during daytime and also act as parking lights/night time use. 2 fuses I found work this way independently. The Parking fuse makes the lights blink when the car is locked and unlocked and also keeps the lights on running at night. The DRL fuse, obviously, runs the lights during the day. These two lines don't seem to have a load at the same time, a sensor in the car switches them automatically. So I was thinking of putting in a relay that would be activated when there is a load on the DRL line. 87 would be coming in from the Parking line and 87a would be coming in from the DRL line. 30 going out to the lights. I know the in and out is backwards. So would this create a problem? Would this work at all?

In and out is not backwards. The relay is designed to do that and will work fine used in that manner.

Ok great. Thanks. I just wasn't sure since every setup example I've found has been for one line that gets toggle between two devices. I was pretty sure this would work just wanted to check with you guys before I went ahead.
