daytime running lamps

[dicks 99 cobra]

I'm thinking of purchasing black lense covers for my 99 cobra. I need to know if there is a way that I could turn off my daytime lams for good. I checked to see if there was a separate fuse but no luck.

Unplug them at the lamp.

I think he means the fog lamps.

If I unplug them at the light, wont that turn of the entire lamp. I dont know anyone else around here with a 99 so I have no idea if it is a common thing.

I DONT mean the fog lamps, Day Time Running LAMPS

 

[lemosley01]

You mean your main headlamps are on all the time?

That would suck. My 99 is not like that; maybe it is a cali-only thing.

If you aren't the original owner, maybe the previous owner screwed around with the wiring to do that. :shrug:

Canadian thing, eh? That car was probably originally sold in Canada.

The previous owner did not touch a thing, some rich kid who never even did an oil change himself

Doom on the canadians.

dicks 99 cobra, there is a module in the bumper that controls the DRL. Unpugging it would appear to do the trick.

Here is a pic of hte module:

From the 99 Tech CD:
Daytime Running Lamps (DRL)

The daytime running lamp (DRL) system consists of a daytime running lamp module and bracket assembly (15A270). The module is located on the front bumper reinforcement.

Thanks, ill go give it a try.

 

[dicks 99 cobra]

Gave it a quick look, cant really see it. I think the bumper might have to come off. Its a bit to cold now, ill do it later

Check out my post #24, or if you Shareaza or some other torrent-capable piece, go to Fordcds.com and download the torrents.

I can make you a copy for a couple of dollars to cover media and shipping.

Weird!! This is the first I've ever heard of DRL on a mustang. DRL's have to be the most pointless feature I have ever seen.

 

[johnjib]

that is super weird. my lights don't run in the daytime unless I turn them on. somebody had to modify them.

 

[mustangn00b]

not weird.. cars made in canada usually have daytime running lamps.. my camaro had that and it was made in canada... but then again.. it's a chevy but still...

Daytime running lights and Automatic headlights were in the Ford Car accessory catalog for the 99-04 Mustang. The dealership could have installed them prior to selling the car to the first owner. I had both on my Cobra.
