[s-cars] Canadian S6 to US spec, a ? or two

[Kenneth Hayes]

Good point Angelo.  I tend to forget that the daytime running lights are
different from the other S-cars.   They can be disabled by removing a relay
under the hood IIRC (don't remember the slot number, Igor?).  I have a 97s6
and the only thing that was changed was the instrument cluster for about
$900 bucks with documentation of what the kilometers were at the time of
change and what they changed the new odometer to so the mileage/kilometers
were equivalent.  My understanding is that the new instrument cluster can
only be "set" to a different odometer reading other than zero, once.

Basically, the Canadian cars are already US spec because they are the same
car that was sold in the US except the instrument cluster.  Even the
emissions were no problem here in Colorado.

Harold,
I bought a 94 S4 about 3 years ago that was from Canada and the only thing
that was different from the US version was the instrument cluster and the
daytime running lights.
