    I am trying to devise a way to have DRL using my low beam headlights. Looking at the wiring schematics for the instrument cluster, there is a switch shown that appears to be inside the instrument cluster. It appears to be there to convert the function of the green indicator light to show either parking lights on (Canada feature?) or headlights on (Merican feature only?)

    Has anyone seen this switch while inside their instrument panel? I really don't want to take it apart and find out it's not in there.

    I'm planning to wire in a couple of relays to make the low beams come on with ignition on, brake off. I want the indicator to show when the parking lights are on, so I don't look like a bozo forgetting to turn the parking lights on.

    Thanks

    Bump.

    Someone has one of these laying on their workbench right now. How about snapping me a pic or two?:D
