Before installing my euroswitch i bent down pins 56d and B. I even taped them to make sure there is no contact. Problem is, I still have running lights on while parking lights are on. Regular running lights are off. I probably just missed something stupid, but I don't know what to do. By the way, I have a 2003.
I didn't bend mine over. I simply taped over "B" and "56D" on mine (right next to each other) and they work as advertised; no DRLs at all for me. Check your taping job again. Maybe try straightening the pins back out and taping them that way.
wst - I've got my Euro taped and here's what I get.
Off - no lights
Euro notch 1 - City Lights (little bulbs at 1 o'clock position) + Low Power Lights (DRLs)
Euro notch 2 - City Lights + Full Power Lights
I pulled 173 and I just installed my euroswitch. This is the scenerio I get. Switch 1 will bring city lights only on. Switch two will bring on both the city lights and low beams... Fogs can be activated in either mode.
Here is what I have with pulled relay 173, and a Euroswitch (b5.5):
Off position: nothing
Parking Light positon: City lights, and fogs (if pulled out)
On Position: Full head lights + City lights, and fogs (if pulled out)
No DRL's are present with this configuration. I will sometimes use the fogs as DRL's. I started to tape the switch at first, and decided it was easier just to pull the relay.
