Default Re: daytime running lights

SparkieSRT6 I bought the switch which is a complete assembly with fuses already installed for $432 from a Chrysler dealer in vaughan and did the install myself. Just a few harnesses to plug in. The hardest part was taking apart the lower dash panel under the steering wheel and the lower left dash piece where the switch mounts. The whole job took about an hour.
drew_o_o The aftermarket DRL module can be hooked into the fog lights, which works fine, but the headlamp warning light comes on in the dash. I hate warning lights. After the safety unhook the connection and turn the lights on manually.
Good Lord. Five hundred bucks for Chrysler switch module DRL's!? ... when as drew points out, you can do it with a $39.95 DRL kit from any auto parts store.

The forty-dollar kit works just fine, and looks just jolly hooked up to the fog lamps ... in fact MUCH better than DRL's in the headlamp module. And yes, it does cause the idiot lamp-out light to show on the dash, but nothing that covered with a wee dot of electrical tape cannot solve.

Five hundred bucks!? ... bah.
