This seems to be the thread with the most technical information about the DRL (Daytime Running Lights), so I've decided to ask here.
What I want to achieve is get the same lights on the moment I start the car as if I switched the light switch stick to the ON position. I'm not proficient enough to figure out how to do it, but hopefully will be able to follow instructions if anyone can help me out with them. Any ideas?

BTW, when I spoke to the Canadian Tire folk doing both federal and provincial inspections I asked them if there were *any* regulations for the power output or the size of the DRL and they said no. So if anyone is giving you hard time with the fog lights as DRL -- ask them for the specific regulations and post here please.
