DRL relay for Canadian cars, where is it?


Recommended Posts

I would like to know where this relay is located, also if it can just be removed to deactivate DRL on Canadian cars? On a 986 I found it on sheet 21 for the Relay Support/Carrier assignment, but I don't have these diagrams for the 987...

Reason, I have a HID kit and it would seem that this circuit affect the HID ballast due to it's reduced current...

I was hoping to try the removal as a fix to make the HID work.

I know this is totally not helping you but you say you found how to remove the DRL on a 986, I would like to see that if I could...?

Actually I too asked the question, what I said was I found the relay listed in the diagrams and was asking if this was all that was required to remove the DRL on a 986 or a 987. From what I was reading it was suggested that one only needed to add the relay to activate the DRL's.

I saw a picture posted by Tool Pants that showed the relay support/carrier but I could not tell where in the car this was found?

Still no reply from CQ Light about this either...

On that note, I would like to get consensus on how much it would cost to activate the DRL. My local dealer wants almost $300 to activate it (which I think is over-priced since it should take minutes to program).

Appreciate any input on this topic.

Thanks.

Thanks for your generous offer...but I am located in Toronto, Canada. :-(

Amazing how the dealer never even asked for the model of my car and just quoted me a price. Amazing...

Hey Loren, if I make the road trip to your neck of the woods, would you extend the offer to me?
