Not sure of the meaning, as there may be an internal contradiction. My vehicle, a U.S. model 1991 Volkswagen Vanagon GL Campmobile, did not come with daytime running lights. I will be traveling in Canada in the future. Am I required to display running lights? Eric says "no," since it did not come with them as original equipment. Then he says "yes," since the vehicle was made after January 1, 1990. mcneely > > > > Eric Ley > Garage Mechanic ELM > 2001 Demers Franklin, Qc > > -------------------------------------------------- > From: "Robert Fisher" <garciasghostvw@GMAIL.COM> > Sent: Wednesday, July 10, 2013 4:25 PM > To: <vanagon@GERRY.VANAGON.COM> > Subject: Daytime Running Lights > > > I guess my search fu is bad, or it could be my memory- but it seems to me > > I > > remember a thread in which Chris (JordanVW) said which relay to use and > > where to put it to activate the daytime running lights function, but I > > can't find it. > > > > I'm in Canada now and I'd like to avoid either running down my battery or > > getting a ticket ... anybody care to repeat that information, please?
