DRL relay for Canadian cars, where is it?

[Westcoaster]

I would like to know where this relay is located, also if it can just be removed to deactivate DRL on Canadian cars? On a 986 I found it on sheet 21 for the Relay Support/Carrier assignment, but I don't have these diagrams for the 987...

Reason, I have a HID kit and it would seem that this circuit affect the HID ballast due to it's reduced current...

I was hoping to try the removal as a fix to make the HID work.

I know this is totally not helping you but you say you found how to remove the DRL on a 986, I would like to see that if I could...?

Actually I too asked the question, what I said was I found the relay listed in the diagrams and was asking if this was all that was required to remove the DRL on a 986 or a 987. From what I was reading it was suggested that one only needed to add the relay to activate the DRL's.

I saw a picture posted by Tool Pants that showed the relay support/carrier but I could not tell where in the car this was found?

Still no reply from CQ Light about this either...

So no one can tell me where to find the DRL relay on a 987?

On a 987, DRLs are enabled through the Porsche PIWIS tester at the dealer.

On that note, I would like to get consensus on how much it would cost to activate the DRL. My local dealer wants almost $300 to activate it (which I think is over-priced since it should take minutes to program).

Appreciate any input on this topic.

Thanks.

Thanks for your generous offer...but I am located in Toronto, Canada. :-(

Amazing how the dealer never even asked for the model of my car and just quoted me a price. Amazing...

Hey Loren, if I make the road trip to your neck of the woods, would you extend the offer to me?
