I think he's referring to the Bentley pages. The Canadian daytime
lights wireup is on 97.235 and 97.236; the "normal" wireup is 97.211
and 97.212, for comparison. The Canadian pages show the daytime
running lights relay and how it's connected. I tried to figure it out
to wire mine up, but in the end I decided it was too much trouble to
figure out the "VW way". Instead, since I already had the headlights
on their own separate relays and my aux battery charging circuit is
fed off a relay activated by the blue alternator wire (with a cut out
relay thrown by the starter solenoid wire!), I just added a switch
between them. Now I can leave the running lights on in the city, where
only simple visibility has value and no one pays attention to anyone
flashing their brights, and wouldn't know what to make of it even if
they did.
