Cully77 Posted January 20, 2009 Report Posted January 20, 2009 I've seen kits on ebay, don't think they were that expensive either Quote
GnatGoSplat Posted January 20, 2009 Report Posted January 20, 2009 GM used to sell a kit. It was a cheapy, sensor was hard-wired to the brain box and so was the harness. No connectors to disconnect anything. I bought the kit, never installed it, and can't find where I stashed it. I would love to get the OEM stuff from a Canadian Cutlass, but never found anyone that could get it to me. I would like both auto headlights and DRL. It's not really because I'm lazy, I never actually turn on the lights and think, "oh man I hate pushing this switch". I just want it because I love gadgets. Any kind of automation is cool to me.

daytonboi Posted January 21, 2009 Report Posted January 21, 2009 Well i bought a kit bout a month about ago that give you auto lights think i paid 35 for it its made by DEI think its 545t or sumthing. I haven't installed it yet so can't tell how good it works. Quote
slick Posted January 21, 2009 Report Posted January 21, 2009 http://www.amazon.com/gp/redirect.html?ie=UTF8&location=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2FDirected-Electronics-545T-Nite-Lite-System%2Fdp%2FB000CJ24YY%2Fref%3Dpd_bbs_2%3Fie%3DUTF8%26amp%3Bs%3Dautomotive%26amp%3Bqid%3D1208225006%26amp%3Bsr%3D8-2&tag=5336116682-20&linkCode=ur2&camp=1789&creative=9325 Being that it's from DEI, it is probably pretty good stuff. Probably something that I would add to the TGP, since it is cheap enough. Install looks pretty simple too. Constant 12V+, Ignition (so that it doesn't turn on at night, when your car is off), and Ground. Then 3 more wires- Constant wire for headlamp/parking lamp switch, parking lamp wire, headlamp wire. Another cool feature, and something that newer cars have with this OEM. You can hook it up to your wipers, to where if you turn your wipers on, it will turn on the headlamps automatically as well. Should be a very simple install. Quote
oldscsc Posted January 21, 2009 Report Posted January 21, 2009 The Bonneville had the window/wiper feature. It was nice to have because legally you are supposed to turn them on in rain or any other kind of weather. It's not the type of thing that you would probably get pulled over for, but it is still nice to have. Quote
ManicMechanic Posted January 21, 2009 Report Posted January 21, 2009 I would love to get the OEM stuff from a Canadian Cutlass, but never found anyone that could get it to me. This was one of my planned projects too... So Canadian members, I know one of my clusters (I think the tach one) for my S10 has a DRL light...Anyone want to see if they can find a DRL module and all for a 1991 S10? Quote

GM was late in Canada at instituting the DRL. I think that Ford jumped on board right away and GM waited until they were forced. My 1993 Cutlass Supreme (Canadian through and through) did NOT have DRL on it. I think that the year it was made mandatory was 1994 or 1995. Quote
88red4cyl Posted January 24, 2009 Report Posted January 24, 2009 i believe it was 94 I believe that is correct... I love cars that have DRLs... Makes them easier to see on dreary days, IMHO... Especially when it a silver/white/tan car because when they get dirty (salt FTL...), they don't stand out as much on a dark day and are a lot easier to miss without the DRLs to grab your attention..

ManicMechanic Posted January 24, 2009 Report Posted January 24, 2009 American first gen w bodies never had DRLs. Quote
jake91 Posted January 24, 2009 Author Report Posted January 24, 2009 American first gen w bodies never had DRLs. we are talking about canada Quote
Brian P Posted January 24, 2009 Report Posted January 24, 2009 American first gen w bodies never had DRLs. late '95-97 Cutlass Supreme? Quote
AL Posted January 24, 2009 Report Posted January 24, 2009 im with 3.1lumina i dont like them on my 98 gtp. i tend to sit in lots alot and have the car running with the heat and radio so i dont like the drls. and not to thread jack this but can someone explain how to disable this annoyance or pm me please If you're sitting in parking lots, just push in the parking brake... That will make the DRLs turn off... swift, pull the DRL fuse in your glove compartment fusebox, problem solved. 88red, pushing the e-brake does not shut them off, however pushing the e-brake in when the car is off and then starting it will prevent them from coming on until the e-brake is fully released Quote
Night Fury Posted January 24, 2009 Report Posted January 24, 2009 Rly? My friend had a Grand am with DRLs that would go on or off at the touch of the parking brake... Quote
jake91 Posted January 24, 2009 Author Report Posted January 24, 2009 in my moms ga when you pull the brake the lights go off after around 1-2 min Quote
AL Posted January 24, 2009 Report Posted January 24, 2009 Yah really, at least in my 99 GPSE thats how it was cause I didnt like my drls so I would push the e-brake and they would stay on so I just shut the car off and turned it back on and they would be off. Quote
