What is that?

but it defeats the purpose of the stealth primer

no way - we have tunnels here and I don't want my lights coming on and off - I want to have complete control of my lights...

They don't turn off and on, they're just always on at a reduced power, unless you pull the e-brake up, then they shut off.

Last year i was actually thinking about doing PWM module controlled by a light sensor - basically it will increase/decrease brightness depending on ambient light - i saw it in action on a rental ford focus once. But then again my alternator is barely able to keep up 13.4v - so i dropped the idea and completely unplugged the DRL......

I have one of those, too. (I'm in Canada) My mechanic also said it was the Daytime Running Light Module.

That's weird, I have that part of both my mx3s and my headlights are off until I turn them on... No weird modes etc.

There's at least two places where the DRL's can be disconnected. You can disconnect the two-wire harness from that metal box shown in the engine bay, or, you can disconnect the relay high in the passenger side kick panel. (You need to remove the plastic kick panel to get to this relay)

Perhaps your's were disconnected in one of those places.

Or, they're just not mandated in Ireland, and the parts are just there, but not in use.

madness! I've never seen an mx with lights on all the time, not that there's many here though. I'll have to have a look for both those connections, not that I want it to work, just curious!
