btw you started this with your comments
you might get a better responses using a little
sugar instead of lemon juice...

I see the Forum has all sprung forth to help you out...

And the one guy who did, doode, didnt even give you good advice...
I try and help you out and get slammed by you.
WTF do you want from me?

btw
HIDs dont like to be cycled like the operational description you give.
They will be short lived at best.

shorter lived if they were on drl???
they will be turned on once only under most cases when unlocking the car. if i were to run them to the headlight circut as intended they would turn on when you unlock the car, then cycle off on (flicker) when you start the car
so to your statement of prematurley wearing out the HIDs HA! doing it as you would intend would not only turn them on twice as much (under normal daytime driving) but also cause a low voltage flicker causing hard wear on the balasts and bulbs from the start up (as all unneeded electrical accesorys are unpowered to deliver as much amperage to the starter to aid in starting)
So as for when I do need/ want to run the HIDs then you turn them on with the OEM switch. This is a normal power on cycle and will not create the low voltage flicker (hot restrike) that you would recieve if they were hooked up "right"
so 157 "god" as you would like to call yourself as told by your signature what do you whave to say about that
you are wrong as proved above. It may not be "right" but its what I want "no drl" and the least amount of wear on the HIDs
you little child

Not a good fix.
Do it right or go home is my motto.
well....i've created a thread before and posted a few times on how to get around the DRL's and HID's

total helpful response = ZERO because a majority of members here are from the USA and they don't have DRL's

My method is incorrect? Please correct me. I don't want some guy's car burning up because I quoted a response from another forum.

Mitsubishi's run SJB's as well and their solution was the easiest. There are other methods involving resistors and capacitors but that is much too labour intensive.

So...let's not make this into a giant flame war and have this thread closed, but if there is another way ( correct way to do this ) please, 157DB post it up so at least the rest of us people in Canada know how to do it.

P.S. = DRL's have been mandatory in Canada since 1991 and they are the dumbest thing in the world. Ever nearly rear end someone at night because they see their DRL's on and don't think to turn on their lights?

Welcome to Canada.

You can program your stang to not do anything with the headlights
when you unlock it or anything. They can be made to come on only
when you turn them on but it seems that reading the owners manual
is well beyond you capabilities.... HA!
So flashem and kill em makes no difference to me.
Ever heard of a delay relay? That would nip it in the bud.
How bout a US destined SJB that has no DRLs.
Open your mind and the world will come in.
Keep being an **** and well you know....

You cant even read QUOTES right and there is no claim
to me being GOD as you reference to.
Evidently you dont know who Boozshey or NORM is round here.
You are way out there and I am glad you are not driving US highways....
Go start a pissing match with someone else with whom
you have the proper ammo for....

Welcome to Canada.
Never because most US vehicles come with REFLECTORS
on the rear of the vehicle and unless you are hauling
shine blacked out, your headlight should warn you of
a driver in front of you and a near collision should not
be possable...
Unless you are out there, EH?

We have some DRL vehicles down here.
The cops use it to catch drunk drivers with
no taillights....

you are still an amazing ***
norm is an amazing person whom has always amswered questions to the best of his knowledge
i cant stand you, you have always brought your ignorant attitude to anything you post upon
correct you can program to not have the flash headlights on, thank you for refering to the manual as you always do
and yes i could get an american sjb but at what cost?
maybe if i do end up frying this one then i will look into that... either way as all of your useless posts have shown you are a little child, ignorant, and incapable of understanding that sometimes the simplest answer is the best.
there was a simple answer that was brought up by yes a fellow canadian... the most usefull answer on this thread.
I decided against following his reccomendations totally as I would like to keep my ambers. I insted used that information (that was given in a good hearted way) and made it work to my advantage.
you on the other hand will do whatever you can to try and make yourself seem to be a god in your mind its embarasing to read what you write
oh by the way, since you wanna bring our country into it.....
we won the most golds in the recent winter olympics... and kicked your *** in hockey pretty bad. oh and lets not forget about we invented the sport. what else we invented the light bulb and well jeeze i could go on for ever,
your country relies on our country for oil to power you car... a v6 at that... we supply your country with lumber, electricity and many more resources.
unfortunatley your country is so redneck that you think that you are all superior to all other countruies and will try to bully anyone who has something you want IE the useless war that has been going on for how long now? all because they have oil and baby bush trying to prove to his dumb *** dad he had a pair.
in the process of your ignorant countries bully actions your country has started a recession that has hurt the whole world and caused thousands of deaths to our young people
including over a hundread of our young soldiers who have had to follow your country as we are a PEACEKEEPING country under nato
but us stupid canadians are obviously the problem, we are just too concerned about calling eachother buddy and bye, or dude, eh, or guy.
so to conclude. I dont hate america, I hate redneck retards, trust me we have them in canada too, but unfortunatley for america, you have way way way more. it seems to get worse as you go further south... farther away from canada...
I feel sorry for you 157
I really do. At least i can travel anywere in the world and wear my flag proudly and not have people try to kill me.
IE try going to vietnam with an american flag, how about half of the middle east, parts of the bahammas, and most slavic, and european countries.
but again I may be dumb.... like the many americans who travel putting our flag on there backpacks and jackets to try to avoid hate crimes upon them
wow thats a rant
sorry to pick on anyone not involved but way too many times "some" americans like to pick on canadians... so as 157 said i dont have the ammo to fight him...
come on up here and i will give you great directions.. hell ill send you some maps, your v6 can show me how it does 0-60 faster then 3.5 seconds.
then if you want to talk **** about my country EH we can talk.. or my dog can talk for me
You little CHILD

so...the solution is the get a USA designated SJB to get the HID's running correctly ?

is that the only solution? is that your idea of the correct way ?

spending $300+ for a SJB= total waste of money just to get HID's to work around the DRLs

plus, you would probably still have to pay the dealer to re-program for various things

You punctuation is horrible.
I cant understand a word of your post.
It was all in vain...

Pay a Ford dealership to reprogram it
without DRLs under the counter if they will....

They will load it with the 'as built data' from
a similar stang without the DRLs...

You want proper punctuation, go to the library and get a book.

As you posted earlier, DRL's are law in Canada, most shops wouldn't even consider turning off the DRL's via the SJB due to liability and the potential for a lawsuit. I know because I have asked a few dealerships.

So you going around saying tapping into the parking lights is wrong and the SJB won't like not having headlights is fine and dandy, but your only "correct" solution is to find a USA SJB or having a shop turn off the DRL's illegally.

You had mentioned earlier that it is not good for the SJB not to have a headlight output. Care to shed any light on that ?

The fricken right way is with 2 (two) relays.
Pick the right coil resistance and no DRLs.
Best of both worlds AND done right.
Then the SJB is happy and no flickering.
But go ahead and tap into the parking lights.
Your headlight switch does not function like OEM
but to each his own...

Doode,
Forget it bro!
you will never be right
157 is a little child who will stomp his feet and nit pick no matter how irrational it may be untill he wins
But back to the thread...
thanks again doode the park lamp is the "efficent" solution to this problem.
If i fry my SJB i will personally appoligize to 157 db, but untill then he can suck my hairy white crack
Use these forums as a tool to learn more about our cars and not a ego tripping venture for little children whos lives are so pathetic they need to make up for there inadequacies
I dispise the people on this forum who ruin it for so many as discribed above
I thank all the people who have tried to help me and others without ego.

oh PS there is probably more then a few spelling, punctuation, and grammerical errors above... but trust me you get the point and your not worth the time or effort to ensure my english is correct... but dont worry I speak three languages fluiently and can cut you down to the little child in any of them
lei hie mah fan bein tai sie lo
see isnt that easy
