    I just did DRL and got to the forum to update you on this and saw Kenny's reply.

    I don't know if what I did is any good or safe. Maybe it will cause the car to go on fire. If anyone sees some danger in this - please, let me know. I just need it to pass inspection at Canadian Tire and then I'll remove it.

    First of all I found head lights relay in the fuse box under the hood. With a voltage tester I tested all four contacts of it.

    Here is a picture

    Contacts A and B had no voltage while C and D always had voltage even with the car not started. I then connected a wire to contact A and B on the relay and plugged it in and then checked them both for voltage. I found that A goes on when I put it in low or in high and B acts quite strange by having voltage on it when I connect the relay, then no voltage on low and voltage on high.

    I decided that the contact I need is A as it's pretty straight forward - it's either off or on so I figured out that if I connect it to a source that gets voltage as soon as I start the car I'll get my headlights on right away.

    I then checked the nearby fuzes for the voltage when the car is started and not started. I found quite a few of them that get voltage when the car starts. One of them is AC fuze. So I ran a wire from that fuze to contact A on the relay.

    Now as soon as I start the car - the headlights come on, I can use low and high beams with no problems. I tried to turn on and off Air Conditioner (since it's connected to it) and it does seem to effect the head lights.

    I hope I won't burn anything while passing inspection. Once I pass it I'll get it back to the way it used to be.

    Let me know if I'm in danger of burning anything, I'm not an electrician in any way.

    Mikhail.
