Default Anyone here done the day time running light delete?

So... I'm from canada, etc. And we gotta have DRL's. any other e36, it's apparently easy to change it out, to be like you americans, but.... not the ti, it seems... unless i'm retarded. which is a good possibility.




help?

If the title hadn't been clear there would be no way for me to understand what you were asking, might wanna reword that to make sense.

woah... is that ever bad. haha.

okay, lets try again.

Canadian cars have the Day Time Running Light module, in place of the americans High Beam Relay.
But it seems like my car doesn't have this Module, or it's not in the same place as normal e36s. The bently is telling me it's under the hood, my friends (with a 328i, and an m3 sedan) say theirs is under the steering column/dash area, by the speaker.
it's not in either place on my car.

if anyone's done the daytime running light delete (makes angel eyes look better) let me know how ya did it!

Can't put angel eyes in the stock headlights... need the euros, and they have DRLs built in (sort of) via wedge bulb.

no. i got apexcone depos with predator chromiums.

other canadian e36 guys (non ti) can just change out the DRL Relay with the american High Beam Module, and that disables the drls.

(my drls are my high beams on 40% power)

can't you just open up the depos and take out the bulb? therefore resulting in a DRLs... sounds like it'd be the easiest way to me...
