Headlight burning

get some fuse taps rather than modifying the fuses. I found them at NAPA autoparts. I think it was like $5 for 4 or something like that. NAPA part #$ 784601

And that that will keep the low beams off in DRL mode on the Canadian cars with the DRL module? Not sure about that. But it doesn't matter to me anyways; I installed Fred's projectors and I'm ok with them being on all the time.

Norm,
You would have to pull the DRL relay to keep the headlights from firing up

So by just pulling the DRL module the car becomes a US car (as far as headlights go)?

Which means the headlights would only come on when the switch is actuated.

Now I just need to know how to do the fog light DRL hack... The detail given earlier in this thread is the hack to turn on the headlights for DRL in US cars.

I did some searching and found the thread on converting your fog lights to DRL. Easy hack. Thanks Savinor!

DRL-Fog Light Hack

As far as the fog lights, the stock H7 light puts out a lot of heat and in time will yellow (read burn) the lens. I found the below HID light on eBay for $13 a pair to work great. I went through several LED lights until I found this one. Shipping time from China was eight days.

JayG used these. They are a tad more money ($37) but the same design. IMHO, they look better than mine but once installed you don't really notice them.
