Day time running lights?

Post by Tommio RS »

Hi everyone!

I have a simple question today about lights! DRL to be exact.

I have a American leggy SS that doesn't have DRL's

I need DRLS to pass a safety inspection in Canada.

Can some one find me a wiring diagram off the Canadian head light circuit?

Basically so i can mod/ find out the difference?

Thanks

Tom

I'm not sure if the wiring harness for the drl's is there for a US car, but the module on my last Canadian car was behind the panel to the right of the passenger foot well, just ahead of the passenger door.

I'm sure you want to make it as oem as possible, but check out danielsternlighting.com, he sells modules with a harness for around $50USD.

i have a canadian TW and dont have DRL's... weird.

just leave your light switch on. lights will come when the ignition is on and turn off when the car is off.
this way the lights are always on.

Although the safety people might get wise it it...

daveh Well at least i know where the DRL module is now!

Good thing i have a Canadian car also to compare to!

Never crossed my mind.
