TJ Driving Lights to DRL?
Has anyone know how to change the TJs driving lights to daytime running
lights? I have a 03 Sport. I've recently moved to a rural area, and have to
drive a good distance on a secondary road. The road is hilly and has a few
blind corners, add in foks pulling out of their driveways and sideroads (plus
deer) and it makes going and coming home quite an adventure.
I pulled the interior light fuse so I can take my doors but I guess it also is
the fuse for the headlight buzzer, because it never goes off when I leave the
headlights on. At any rate anyone know how I could do this? Thanks in
advance.

Re: TJ Driving Lights to DRL?
The stock 'driving lights' are really fog lights aren't they. If not,
then they are high beams so in either case are useless for daytime
runners.
Headlights are the best.
The daytime runners are only imposed because big brother knows we aren't
smart enough to drive with the lights on.
I suppose it wouldn't be too hard to put a relay on the headlights so
the ignition has to be on. Weather this is safe or legal, I don't know
but I doubt it.
I drive a lot on rural roads and have real driving lights. When on
these roads, I aim my driving lights at the ditches as far ahead as they
are effective. This lights up animals and fools pulling out before they
reach the end of the driveway.
When I am mainly highway cruising, I aim my lights more on the road,
well the drivers side one back onto the road anyway with the passenger
side one ditch biassed.
Off road I aim them closer.

Re: TJ Driving Lights to DRL?
On the new TJs the daytime lights are in fact the headlights
Running at a 50% duty cycle or something like that.
(not on constantly)
They come on after moving forward 3 feet. FYI :-)
Only Jeeps in Canada have them. I believe it's a relay
that operates them.
