Hi there! I've been lurking for a while but haven't posted anything. So this will be my first post. I have a Canadian 92 DX hatch, and I'm doing a wire tuck. Only I have no idea what this box is, and if I can remove it. I have searched everywhere, the problem is I don't exactly know what to search for. If someone with more knowledge than myself could chime in, that would be excellent.

That's the Daytime Running Lights resistor box.

It runs the one hot wire (white) to split through two ceramic encased high power resistors to reduce current that flows through the two red wires to the high beam side of your head lights.

I posted about this as I swapped to LED lights and DRL's were just about as bright as the Bright's were on the bulb. So I wired it to the low beam side for now and in the future I am going to do a voltage drop instead since lower current doesn't do much for LED bulbs. Instead have to drop voltage to get dimmer light.

I that thread I linked above, the ETM is there plus pictures of my project to semi fix the DRL's with CREE LED bulbs.

Excellent! Thank you for the reply! I'm in AB, where the only thing cops care about is tint apparently. Can I delete this resistor by simply cutting the wires? Or would it be more complicated than that?

I am in Alberta too. The law is simple, tint your back windows what ever you want. Side windows, no tint at all, if you do, you risk a ticket, pretty simple

Haha yea that law. The only reason I said that is cause I'm planning on pulling that resistor for the DRL. And I'll probably get pulled over for tint before I do for lack of DRL lol.

Like I said in my post, the Electrical Troubleshooting Manual (ETM) is posted in the link I shared. It shows you the complete circuit.

Thanks a lot!
