I have replaced by headlamp switch with a Euro version. So far so good. I can now operate my fog lamps without the head lamps. For those who have never noticed the need for fog lamps is due to the reflection off the fog from the headlamps, the low fog lamps tend to reflect much less do to the angle. Getting the headlamps off eliminates all that reflections so you can see much better.) The instructions for the changeout included a note to remove the #173 headlamp relay.
I followed the instructions and all is working as expected. However, I would like the return of my DRL's. I am guessing that the #173 relay's function was to turn on the headlamps at the reduced output when the ignition is on and the parking brake is off.
Now the question. If I keep the Euro switch and replace the #173 relay where it was, will I regain the use of the DRL's without blowing any fuses or doing any damage?
If I had a complete wiring diagram I could figure it out, but all I have is a Bentley CD and it does not have the Euro Switch information nor is it easy to follow the wiring diagram. An 8 foot by 8 foot paper wiring diagram would be nice. ;-)
Thanks
