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.

Hope this helps.

Yeah... I'm wondering if anyone has figured out how to get this -

Euro Notch 1 - City lights ONLY
Euro Notch 2 - City lights + Full Power Lights

Will pulling 173 create this scenerio?
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.
