Darkonville, regarding the fog light mod, you did say it was unsafe in addition to how you don't like it by opinion. Is it really unsafe for day driving without fog at a time when I would otherwise have no other lights (besides parklights)? If so, why? If I'm considering the mod, then I'm all ears on opinions and reasons I shouldn't for safety.
Scheinwerfermann, I'm ordering the turn DRL module soon here, but they are slow at emailing me back with questions I asked. So let me ask, if you happen to know, about how much current the unit will draw from the ignition circuit I splice into. I have two other relays spliced into that circuit, so I'm watching out with drawing more. Will it draw as much as the bulbs use, or does the bulb power still come from the OEM turn signal/hazard relay? In other words, does it just draw tiny amounts for control/switching, or does it actually draw for the bulbs?
As for the relays, I grabbed a few other kinds off that page with internal suppression diodes and sockets with 16AWG terminals. The original topic of back-EMFs is now handled. Thanks much for the advice on EMFs.
Lastly, a quick question on fuse types... I've been using mini-blade fuses for inlines, but I grabbed some AGC ones (the glass tube ones) this time because they seem to come in smaller values and increments. I've always used blade fuses before meaning this is the first time I'm trying a new type. Is there any reason I should stick with blade fuses and not use the glass tube ones? I read that sometimes the contact tips get hot because of poor manufacturing. Does anyone have any advice on this?
Thanks for all replies.
