I have a 986 that I imported from the US into Canada. Currently it's in the bodyshop and soon i'll be able to get it on the road - but not till the snow is gone.

Since the laws here require all cars to have daytime running lights, just wanted to hear what the latest opinions are.

Should I slap on some LED's on the bumper inserts or do the fuse box jump trick?

I am kinda leaning towards LED's because I have read that having the lights on all the time isn't a good thing. DRL's are usually supposed to be a much lower beam anyway so I really don't want them on ALL the time. FYI I have the Litronics headlights.

There's also the option of having the fog light as the DRL? I'm not clear on this.

What do you guys suggest?
