I was just wondering if the US Mustangs have daytime running lights like the Canadian Stangs ??? I was thinking of making my fogs stay on all the time instead of the headlights. I can't have just my fogs and parking lights on because the headlights are always on which kind of sucks. Just wondering if that can be done with US Stangs. Thanks

Actually parking lights have to be on for the fogs to come on (on my '01 GT anyway). And you don't have to have the headlights on at the same time. Cool look.

US cars don't have the Day time running lights.

I bought my car in Florida and had to install them to pass Canadian inspection.

My friend just go his unpluged on a 04 Cobra and the dealer did in just by unplugging something under the hood , just ask you local ford dealership , the guy open the service manual and within a couple minutes DTRL was out !

I work at a Dealership and it is a fuse but instead of removing it, I will relocate the wire that keeps the headlights on to the fog lights instead this way I'm sure I won't get stopped for having no lights on during the day. By the way, the Canadian cars have a DRL module to light them up where as the US cars just have a jumper connected to that same connector.
