[Fwd: [Vwdiesel] Daytime running lights]

[Gerry]

I have a Canadian '91 Jetta TD (German built), probably with the same DRL.

There is a connector (single wire only) on the drivers side, at the master cylinder.  Simply disconnect.  This will remove the lowbeams from the DRL circuit i.e. only the parking lights will light up as DRLs unless the headlightlight switch is turned on.

If you want, I can do a JPEG with digicam and e-mail to you personally if you need more info (my description is regrettably vague).

rgds all, g.
