daytime running lights

I have a 96 se and would like to know if anyone has rigged the headlights to run all the time with the key i want just the low beam to be on all the time no parking lamps or anything else maybe rigging up a 40 amp relay to the lights would work ?

thanks
jeff

NO NO NO NO DAMMIT! It's the one thing motorcyclists still have to call out a bit of attention. DRLs are the worst thing ever! Don't do it! PLEASE!!

hmmmm most riders ride during the day with their high beams on.... or the flickering headlights =p

DRLs do really help other drivers spotcha... =p

all GM cars since '95 have had DRLs Volvos, Saabs, MercedesBenz, Lexus's '98+ I think, sooo DRLs are really common out there these days

I'd say put a 194 bulb in your headlight housing and wire that sucker up

my friends taurus SHO has "auto lamp" which has a sensor in the dash right in front of the windshield.. so when its daytime and the sensors getting light the lights stay off but as soon as it gets darker the lights turn on by themselves...

Anyone ever thought of this mod? It sounds pretty damn cool.

If someone were to try it, I suggest using the sensor found in various disposable cameras...if you get a generic brand, they come pretty cheap
