Hi.
Bought 1996 SL500 and have to install Daytime Running Lites (DRL)
Anybody knows how to do this, I did read somewhere there should be a special relay some where in the area under the passenger airbag.
Please let me know if anybody has some inf on this. TIA Jacob

Got it done just to get by the inspection.
Hooked up the low beams to the power seat/steeringwheel fuse in the fusebox and took the wire of after the inspection, just have to remember to turn on the parking lites when I am driving as the police sometimes check this. they need the money here in Canada.
