Leading evidence: 'Install i never bothered decoding my sticker' (no explicit attributable resolution; this is a reported action or suggestion). Across 1 matching discussions, The most frequently discussed action is 'Clean house and well fed, or sugar momma' (1 discussions). For that action, 0 discussions report a resolution and 0 report an unsuccessful attempt. No action has an explicit, attributable resolution report under the current rules. These are forum reports and suggestions, not a confirmed diagnosis.

If that does not work, then run a jumper wire to close the circuit.

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

come on... who has the Secret to this? ill send you a nice Indian Bride, who cooks and cleans good :P or you can have a Bitchy Rich Arabic Bride... you pick
Hmm, tempting. clean house and well fed, or sugar momma? Decissions, decissions.
Wish I had an answer for you. I need to do the complete opposite of this on a 03 with xenons, anyone know if it is as easy as connecting fuses 9 and 10?
BTW Zookie, thanks for the recomendation on the Pfaff PSE. My dads cas sounds very nice, love the crackle on cold start. Can't wait to compare it to the OEM PSE on my car tomorrow.
Cheers, David
I really don't have an exact answer but I would think this is basic electrical stuff. So here it goes.
If you found the light sensor and unplugged it from the harness, that might work. If that does not work, then run a jumper wire to close the circuit. It has to be one way or the other.
I would but I wont have any plates yet, TFX is dropping it off in my driveway.
As soon as the inspection is done and I get plates i will make sure to drop in!
Not sure, but here is a relay designation if you want to try pulling them. If you do use I will settle for a french women OOHHH LA LA... but needs to be clean and well fed.

In Canada it is required to have some form of day time running lights.
Mostly cars here the headlights only will come on when the car is started.
For whatever reason Porsche decided that Canada will have ALL the flippin lights on for the DRL's. That is in my case the bixeons and the park lights.
All the head light switch does is turn on the dash lights and allows high beams to be activated.
Make any sense??
Guess we cant be trusted to turn on our lights when we need them.... well now that I think about it. You see some folks driving after sun down with out the lights on, just the drl's.
would really like to have just the front park or think descriped in the manual as marker lights for my DRL's. Seems silly having those xeons burning away all the time.

Hey Zook,
shoulda bought a US car!
My DRLs are wired up so that only the front fogs are on. At night I have to turn the switch like everybody else.
Bring it to an indy and they can probably
tell
you which relay to pull; they just can't
do it
for you since that's against the law.
Yeah we do have the "ugly bumperettes" too. But after seeing the sad state of the bumpers on 996/997's in Paris, I'm quite okay having them on my car now.

I bought my car from him in 2006 and he'd done the mod after importing it in to Canada. He's a rennlister and posts mostly in the Canada forum but not very often. I'm pretty sure it's a 30min job.
I don't know if this helps, but I had DRL's but there was a power drain from the light switch, the indie (without telling me) simply replaced it with a non-DRL light switch and poof they are gone. I am not sure if it came oem or P.O. installed I never bothered decoding my sticker.
For my '01 C4 I simply jumpered the seat heat fuse (voltage source side) to both the right and left parking lights fuses. The 6W european DRL bulb illuminates with the street/parking/tail lights.
Look at the relay tray. There is a relay that is twice as wide as the others pull it.
Then check to make sure with the relay removed all other lights work. Someone a long time ago claimed that after removing the relay some lights did not work. Think he said the license plate light or some light in the rear of the car.
You can't pull the wrong relay. The relay is a double relay meaning it is twice as wide as the rest of the relays. You will need to pull it firmly. Don't worry - you can't break anything except your back getting under the dash. The relay tray is above the brake/clutch pedals.
Ohay, is the relay tray above the fuse panel to the left of the pedals? If so which relay do I pull? There are two (from what I can see) relays that are twice as long (is this what is meant by twice as wide?) as the rest. A pic would be awesome. So would a beer!
It was installed on the passenger side, next to the battery,
spliced and attached to 4 wires, from a bundled group of
wires.
I can throw it in the car and show it to you next time I see you.

Okay pulled the RELAY. its the BIG ONE, Top left Corner, white sticker with a black arrow on it... Well it did the job, but more... Rear Licence Plate Light does not come on at all & High Beams only work when you Hold it Pulled.. If you Push, Xenons go out and High Beam Halogens Stay On... Also i dont know it this is related at alll, my Radio turned on by its self after it turned of automatically....
zookie,
I'm still wondering why you want to lose the DRLs? These cars are so small compared to the rest of the land yachts out there that any extra visibility is good imho.
