[Shotimes] Competition Limited headlight harness compatibility issue with DRL's

[clubairth@bellsouth.net]

Frank:
 I don't think you can run the DRL's and the headlight harness together. I 
have never found anyone who has made the combo work but maybe someone else 
can suggest something. I think if you unplug the DRL module everything 
should work OK. The DRL module is on the drivers side up underneath in the 
front of the front tire. Lay on your back and look in this area to find the 
module. At least unplug it temporarily to see if that is the problem.

Here is the modified circuit so the lamp out module still works for 
everything except the headlight:

Here is a picture of the harness taped up and ready to install. You might 
have different color wires but it was easy to see what needed to be done on 
my 93 ATX.

I have run this mod for over 5 years with no problems. You can get the 
correct resistors from Radio Shack for a dollar or two.

Of course you need to know where your lamp out module is first!
