Mine can accept the relay. Where can I buy one? Dealers?

Assuming yours doesn't flash all the time, there must be more to it than plugging in a relay. 96LX/24V/ATX/Midnight Red/A4 repeaters/SVT exhaust/KKM/65mm throttlebody/SVTsprings and ST200 struts/SE rockers and BAT spoiler/BAT 19mm swaybar/urethane bushings/Kenwood 7 speaker syst./E1 SVT brakes w Powerslot rotors/9005 lowbeams/885 fogs/50% tint/Michelin XM+S 130's for winter/E1's with gForces for summer...and now "New Paint!!" 87 Renault GTA convertible/2.0l/mtx/Sony sound/otherwise stock http://members.shaw.ca/neilmc/

You can get the relay fairly cheap from Bill Jenkins. parts@sentryautogroup.com Thats where I bought mine. I got it with several other things and total cost with shipping was around $35.00 Tim ------------------ Timothy Kirk sobeit99@yahoo.com Tulsa, OK 99 SVT Black/Midnight Blue 1876/2760 173.1 HP / 158.7 Torque Now with heads up display http://photos.yahoo.com/sobeit99 Timothy Kirk http://contour.org/classifieds/classifieds.php?t=1&c=6 Tim@MY99SVT.net http://www.my99svt.net

Bill Jenkins might be able to get it cheaper , but I just ordered it & they got it for me in a couple days . Now I'm the only 'Tour with DRLs in my area (well , me & my bro. ) BTW - the relay will only go in one way , if that's what you were concerned about ------------------ "If you want to finish first ... first you must finish !!!"

Looks just like the photo on the CEG web page.

Anonymous Unregistered A	1) the jumper went from left to right of the relay plug in the power dist. box (when looking at it from the front) the left slot (marked #5 on my relay)runs front to back & the right slot (marked #3 on my relay) runs left to right in the plug If you jump the 2 together ... no more DRLs ! ~~~see the jumper bar & plug here ... http://www.contour.org/cgi/showpic.pl?/FAQ/jpg/drl/DRL-good.jpg 2) if your car has a hole in the power dist box , and not a (white?) plug , then you're S.O.L. putting a relay in there . ~~~see the hole here ... http://www.contour.org/cgi/showpic.pl?/FAQ/jpg/drl/DRL-bad.jpg [This message has been edited by TealTour95 (edited September 10, 2000).]
