hey all bought this DRL relay off ebay and was wondering if it really is a ef relay box and where does it plug in or mount? and does it matter that i didn't get the plugs? ohh well here it is hope it is what they say. so far all i know is it goes under the dash

doesn't that relay go under the driver's side dash right next to the blinker relay? (left side of fuse box)

 

just go under there and look around

 

why do you want DRL when you can just turn your headlights on with the flick of the wrist during the day?

LOL~!!!!~~~!~!

 

hahah canada gets these stock! you got RIPPED!

 

i only paid 20$ for it, insurance discount w/ drl. are the plugs allready underthere?

 

insurance discount? where do you get this at?

 

some insurance companies offer a discount for daytime running lights, you should ask yours, same goes w/ passive restraints, vin numbers etched in glass, alarm, and driver prevention.... all discount your insurance... so yea i looked around down there and see no plug and can't figure out where this thing could fit.

 

nope., you need the canadian wire harness for that. Big pain the the a$$. Not a plug and play. Originally mounted just below the middle R vent.
HTH

 

yea it is mounted behind the radio on the heaterbox on the pass side of the box, it will be a pain to wire tho but u can source the plug off some old wrecked cars, then just add wires

 

why not hook up your own relay..

find a power line that on when the car is on, use that as the actutor and connect the switch end of the relay to the headlight wire...

relays are not that hard to figure out..

 

Why not just get an aftermarket running light kit? They don't cost much and they come with all the parts! You, however, are missing a major part still. Not only do you need the connector plug, but you also need the resistor box. (Get a Helms manual and read all about it.)

DRL's don't run at full brightness. They run at about 60% birghtness. So, you need a resistor box.

HTH

Your relay needs to be fixed. And its on teh passenger side way up behind the glovebox near the middle of the car. Grey box as you can see. Flash light will help

Half power high beams is what Honda uses.

that could be why, mines an 88.
although give me a couple minutes, im gonna go have a look and see if i can see anything up there.

edit: I had a look, but I didnt see anything that looked even close to that.
heres a pic, side of car on the left, center console on the right.

 

i've got a 90 si with drl stock. i'm in canada

 

Are you looking on the passenger side of the car?

 

Daytime running lights for Canada were mandated into existance in November of 1989. If your car was built before that date, it won't have them.

 

my ef is a us spec honda mfg of canada 91 si. i bought the relay box off ebay

thats most likely the reason i dont have it then. oh well, its not that hard to flick a little switch anyways, although i could use the deduction on my insurence too, lol.
