Icon2 S2000 automatic headlights

Does anyone know how to rewire a 2002 S2000 so the headlights come on when the car is running? I have automatic headlights in my Saab, Subaru, and Benz, and love the convenience. Hopefully this is as easy as plugging in a relay from a Canadian car.

Thanks!
Chris

If you're referencing the DRL, the Canadian models did not have automatic headlights either. They had the 50% of their highbeams, not the HID's. And I did some digging because I wanted to add DRL to my '04, it's not as simple as plugging in a relay.

I'm sure it can be done, but it seems unnecessary to me.

Change the source of the headlight fuse to power up when the key is in the run position.

Doing this task is roughly the equivalent of flipping the light switch on and off manually about 17,000 times. But hey. Sometimes moving your wrist 1 centimeter is incredibly inconvenient.

LOL some people are so lazy!

But to answer OP yes it can be done with a simple relay and some easy wiring. this is one of those things if you have to ask, better consult an electronics shop.

Sell your 02 S2000 and buy an 06-09. Instant DRLs!
