I bet. Carpet delete? Lmao

 

Yes, it came with rubber floors like a fleet truck.

 

Lmao at the Kia Rio. Wow

Yup it's a federal requirement to include that on new vehicles, but not actually part of the Ontario safety spec. If a mechanic here makes noise about then he's going beyond the official inspection criteria. The HTA doesn't mention them at all, save for maybe you could interpret "factory installed safety equipment must be present" as including DRLs. Similar to the spec says two red brake lights but the Center High Mounted Brake Light on the hatch is "factory safety equipment". But as long as you have lights on when you should no cop is going to care. MTO sure doesn't
I'm not sure if any other provinces look for it.

 

Old thread, i know.....But search works

anyway, it's said the vehicle has to move for the drl to come on. Is this true or...?? I ask cuz i just installed the Truck Lite's and parked I have no drl (tho i did put it into gear). I took out the Rampage H4 swap (w/Putco) and DRL never worked with that setup, wondering if maybe i pooched the module??

thanx

 

Yes. The DRL module does not liven the circuit until it sees a certain speed from the VSS and the parking brake isn't on. As soon as I snipped my VSS my DRLs went away.

 

i knew you'd pop your head in here i'll see if i can take her for a boot this weekend.

as always salad, thanx!!!!

 

WiFi on the train

 

update...post-trucklite install/oem wiring

had a chance to take 'er for a rip, no drl. headlights work normally thru the switch. so...i'm thinking the drl module has taken a dump?? i know when i was first running the putco setup they would flicker, any chance that might have sent it off the deep-end??

thanx

 

Doubt it. DRL runs at reduced voltage, TruckLites probably just aren't coming on that low. The flickering is because Putco relays are literally flapping internally as the voltage is insufficient to turn them on all the way.

 

thanx salad.

ya i knew the putco/H4 issue was voltage related, not tossing out a full 12v to light up the highs...but the LEDs aren't supposed to have any issues (or so i was told), which made me think the module

 

Well you could try probing the pins on it. To be honest I've never heard of a DRL module going out. But maybe that's because nobody cares! I killed my DRLs and just turn my lights on.

LEDs tend to not do much at all when the voltage supplied is very low.

 

will give 'er a shot....
ya i've been doing the "manual" method, but i'm getting too old to always be pullin' on it

hope all is well in the east end of ON!!

ttyl pal, and again...thanx!!

 

I ADDED DRL's to my XJ. I use a DRL module that I got from Daniel Stern. It makes my parking lamps into DRL's. When my headlights are off, my forward-facing parking lamps are on--not at the normal parking light brightness, but the brightness that is used when flashing--very visible and impossible to be confused with having your headlights on. Amber DRL's are regarded by many as a superior way of doing DRL these days for a number of reasons anyway.

Hehe I know what you mean. Yeah doing well up here at the top of the lake... soaking up the salt and watching all of Toronto's crap float by!!! As usual all the interesting weather avoids us.

Wow. That's pretty cool. How much did the module run you?
