How is DRL ( day ) connected to relay 2?

The first circuit shows the DRL (day) connected to the common pole of relay 2. (The way I think you have wired your circuit) With relay 1 unenergized the ACC (+) has a path through relay 1 and relay 2 switches to DRL (day). However, when relay 2 is energized all that happens is DRL (day) and DRL (night) are connected together.

What happens to relay 1 when relay 2 is energized?

(The way I think you have wired your circuit) With relay 1 unenergized the ACC (+) has a path through relay 1 and relay 2 switches to DRL (day). However, when relay 2 is energized all that happens is DRL (day) and DRL (night) are connected together. There is no path for the current into either.
