Re: Headlight/Foglight Shunt

I see another tech page here.  Is there already a tech page out there
somewhere on this mod??  I know EC Magazine did an article on this mod.
Does anyone have a copy of this issue, or all the Jetta mod articles
from EC Mag?? Did EC use the same euro switch??

I plan on doing this mod to my '95 GLX as well.  And as usual I will
photograph the whole thing, inside and out.

Oh, on the euro switch, why do we want to disable the DRLs. Are we
talking a performance hit on the alternator here??  I kind of like the
safety feature of the DRLs.  I mean, hey, when I come flyin around a
turn I want to make damn sure some moron pulling out of a side street
has at least a half second to see me coming!

Jettamann,...out....
