wuz-up, new here...a few easy questions!!
 
Hey all, Paul here...aka RebelRacing.
I am the prowd owner of a '99 Protege LX touring edition (Canada). I have installed a K&N cone style filter, BroSpeed muffler and some dress ups like MOMO leather shift boot, shift knob etc.
Here is my querry... I have installed a set of driving lights and I don't want my pesky DRL (daytime running lights) anymore... where the **** is the DRL module located so I can unplug it!?!!

Any help appreciated.

Sorry To burst your bubble Paul ,But if you check the laws you will find that all cars after a certian year must have DTRL on the car . This is a safty feature .
The other thing is that when i disconnected the relay on my 92 DX there where no high beams . I believe that the DTRL relay is tied into the high beam circuit Macklum

Fogs, Headlamps, DRL...we need AC power to do all this!!
 
Greetings...
As to the DRL requirements, the purpose of my inquiry was to use the DRL 6-volt feed to the headlamps to signal the foglamp relay...thus using my fogs as DRL (and leaving the headlamps off). I just think that the yellow-orange colour the DRL emits clashes with the nice blue-white the fogs have...making me look like a dork riding up on your bumper!!!!haha
I have also thought about buying the PIAA Super blues to match the fogs...this would be okay!! I would use the stock 55/65-watt bulbs, and would encourage anyone to be carefull using the HID/Superblue style high wattage lights...2 of my friends have fried the H/L connectors because of the increased heat! Does anyone know what the little box in a real HID system actually does???

P.S. - Richard... Heard of the "Highland Games?"
I'm in a small town of 8000 called "Fergus, ON"...
Where the MEN are pRRRowd and the SHEEP are scaRRRed!!

fogs & lows/highs
 
90&00 Protege, could you tell us how you changed the fogs to operate independently of the lows/highs? I don't have DRL because our state doesn't require it.

Thanks.
