daytime running lights

^ yeah we amish and pensultukians have succeeded from the union...

Be careful, we already tried that & it didn't work very well.lol

So the American version of the Festiva doesn't have a DRL module?

No

I have two 93s and a 92 with daytime running lights. Canadian cars feature these things standard but I am unaware if they are necessary for safety checks; particularly since the car is 20 years old. If in fact the module for operating them is shown as featured I just might have a spare set.

I tried wiring the module straight from the battery and they came on,but im gonna try wiring them from the fuse box but i dont think they'll turn off when i put the headlights on.so that means the low beams will be on while the high beams will still be on via the drl module gonna go and try it now. got my fire extinguisher handy!

As far as I'm concerned DRLs draw power from the engine for frivolous purpose and therefore I am being energy-conscious by disabling them. I have no objection to turning on lights for safety purposes (overcast, tunnels or night-time) but at my discretion and not to appease some gov't regulator that deems to think I can't think for myself.

You mean the Canadian Parlimant actually trys to think for you? Sounds alot like our Big Brother here......:eeeeeek:

well,the drls work with ignition,but remain on when low beams are on,but it will do for the safety. Thanks!

festy's sold in the states didnt have DRL's i jus looked under my hood an i didnt see that box on the firewall

[Craig1973]

Yea they are required in canada after 1990 i believe. we are so lucky.people drive around with em on at night.

i have a 92 L with no daytime running lights .i need them to pass the safety and am wondering where the drl relay and the drl module are located? are they under the dash or the hood? i'm thinking i have a cut wire because the kid i bought it from put those blue headlight bulbs in there. i'm in Winnipeg and they are required to work.anyones help would be greatly appreciated thanks!

Welcome! Worst case scenario you can get a $30 kit at cambodian tire thats good enough for safty if your fix dosent work

[Craig1973]

now its just a matter of finding the correct wire in the harness and put it back to stock. Then disconnect them again.lol

[Craig1973]

yea i know piston ring sells the kits too, but am on a beer budget here so... it will work for the safety though. i seem to have a grounding issue as the high beam is on dimly when the low beams are on but the ignition off.

It's in german but if you use google translate it's very useful.

[Craig1973]

Thanks, Nicholas.That will come in handy!

[NicholasJackson]

No worries.
