Not really DRLs... Posted by Larry West [Email] ![]() ![]() ![]() In Reply to: Re: parking lights, THS, Thu, 18 Jun 2009 13:15:24 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
Fog lights are not "true" DRLs, because you can turn them off independently. "True" DRLs are mandated in much of Northern Europe, and the driver cannot turn them off.
What you need is someone with a Tech 2 to set the DICE module up so that your headlights are not your DRLs (this is one of the mandated modes, so it has to be in the computer). This way, every time you turn the car on, the parking lights will go on as your "DRLs".
The switch will work like this:
Position 0 (to the left): with ignition off, no lights. Ignition on, all parking and marker lights.
Position 1 (straight up): all parking and marker lights on , regardless of ignition status.
Position 2 (to the right): with ignition off, no lights, Ignition on, all parking, marker and headlights.
That's how my 2002 Arc was set up.
Of course, if you don't want DRLs at all, they can set that too. Then your ignition switch works like this:
Position 0 (to the left): with ignition off OR on, no lights.
Position 1 (straight up): all parking and marker lights on , regardless of ignition status.
Position 2 (to the right): with ignition off, no lights, Ignition on, all parking, marker and headlights.
And if you want to use your headlights as your DRLs, when that mode is set you'll get:
Position 0 (to the left): with ignition off, no lights. Ignition on, all parking and marker lights and headlights on low beam. High beams do NOT lock on (flash only).
Position 1 (straight up): with ignition off, all parking and marker lights on. Ignition on, all parking and marker lights and headlights on low beam. High beams do NOT lock on (flash only).
Position 2 (to the right): with ignition off, no lights, Ignition on, all parking, marker and headlights. High beams DO lock on.
