day time running lights

I've a new question...Daytime Running Lights.... when I bought my '01 SC, I believe running lights were an option that could be installed at the dealership, for app. $45. When I inquired about this at the dealership they all were a bit dumbfounded. I have a feeling this is only adding a relay. Any body have experience with this?

There are two parts to do this, a relay that goes under the oval panel on the right side of the dash and a resistor that goes on the sheet metal behind the front bumper on the left side. There is no wiring or cutting into the harness. It only takes twenty minutes to plug everything in and you will need a #10 ss screw and ss nut with a nylon insert. It will set you back about $70 to do it yourself. I'll look up the part numbers and get back to you. This is the web site that tells you how to do this. http://www.users.voicenet.com/~storm/drl/ I think the part numbers have changed, I would go on line to get the parts. do a search on ford parts or ford accessories. If a Board manager will give me permission I will post the link where I get my OEM parts, sorry, but I already got KO'ed from another board for this.

Aftrmidnite send me an email with the name of the company and I'll check with the boss and see if it's ok to post it.

Ford also offers on their accessories web site a kit for daytime running lights for the 01 Screw. It is also around 70 bucks. You may want to check it out also.
