How-To Section - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

mattles · 05-24-2012, 01:18 PM

I think now that some of us have our cars and will be tinkering with them, a dedicated 'Complete How-To' section would be best as a place to publish quick step-by-step guides on how to perform basic modifications.

As an example, I defeated the DRL (daytime running lamps) the other day, its as simple as looking in the fuse/relay panel under the hood and pulling out the large brown relay labelled on the cover as 'DRL'.

Thanks.

Think that would be good idea as a sub forum under Technical Topics

DRLs look dopey, simple as that. A car is visible during the daytime because its A CAR, its a large metal object and its outer layer is made primarily of highly reflective paint. IMO it doesnt need the aid of a very dim light to increase daytime visibility.
