How do I activate daytime running lights in my 2002?

Hi - just brought a 2002 Expedition into Canada from the USA. Canadian law forces me to have daytime running lights before I can register and drive it here. Does anyone know what's involved in activating the DRLs? I know that it in some newer models, its a simple code programmed into the vehicle's computer. How does it work with a 2002 Expedition? Thanks

well im guessing your has the auto running lights right? so when it gets dark they turn on right? well all you have to do is cover up the sensor that make s them turn on which is located on top of the dash this is what it looks like '

just cover it up with tape or somthing and vuala! they should turn on now ever time you your turn on your vehicle


also remember to turn on your auto running lights on

the one that was the A with the light bulb on it

Hope this helps!!

There are components you are missing if you want factory DRL. This was obviously a factory option that year (mine has it). If you want it done right, check with a reputable dealer.

Hey - that's brilliant! I wonder if it will pass inspection...
