canadian daytime running lights
Hi guys - first post. I plan to import an Allroad this summer and for the inspection I will need to have some form of light come on when the ignition is turned on. I don't want or need the DRL to work forever, I just need to pass the inspection.
I have searched and found many interesting threads on wiring fogs to work independently from the headlights, but although I've seen the question asked I've not seen it answered. Is there a known procedure for making the foglights, or headlights, or even the parking lights come on when the ignition switch is turned on?
When I imported my Porsche earlier this year I simply jumpered the heated seats fuse terminal to the headlight fuse terminal and easy peasy the lights came on when the key was turned. Once the inspection was done I removed the jumper and now I control the lights with the switch on the dash (imagine that).
Thanks for any help you can offer. I'll cross post over in the Canadian forum as well.

There is a way, though Im not sure what exactly. The dealership I bought my US allroad from (here in Calgary), did it for me, the funny part is it stopped working about 6 months ago, lol. I haven't bothered investigating to see how they did it, or how to fix it.
