Daytime Running Lights?

I know there is a SPOT for the DRL fuses.....Is it possible to enable DRLs just by installing a fuse? If I install them and have them verified by a state inspection place, should I see a discount on my insurance?

I have daytime running lights and i don't have the canadian version, got it in new york. So you probably could. Just remember there are two spots for the fuses.

This is so funny.

People in Canada want to disable DRL, and people in the US want to enable them. I disabled mine because I reqired the the Factory foglights so I could turn them on without the headlights being on. (looks really cool).

Has anybody actually tried just putting a fuse in it to see if they work? I highly doubt they will, but you never know.

Yeah, I'm surprised people are wanting them too. All I can tell you is that I have a wire running to my fuse box that I pulled to disable them. I don't know how much other wiring is involved, but thats how I turned them off. Why do you guys want them anyway? Just curious.

They really do help as far as being visible in the daytime and are standard on a lot of new cars. Just thought it would be cool since I turn them on all the time anyway. I could just turn on my fogs I guess.

2003 models have a constantly lit gauge cluster.

When you turn on the lights, the gauge cluster dims. If you drive during the day with the lights on, the gauges are almost illegible unless you manually turn the brightness up manually. Every time.

If I had DRLs, maybe it would fix the problem.
