Well, I just recently purchased a 2004 EX-L RES from the States and imported it into Canada. I have received so much good information from this site, I thought I should contribute something myself.

One of the Canadian import requirements was the installation of Daytime Running Lights. I don't want to get into the debate regarding daytime running lights, but suffice it to say that I feel better having them in a community with a large retirement population.

Initially, I ordered a module from Hamsar based on the instructions on this website. However I ordered a Shop Manual and noticed that the headlights are switched on by closing the ground, so I couldn't use the module. In talking with the Engineers at Hamsar, their solution was to either install the OEM or aftermarket fog lights, and use them as the running lights. While I would like the OEMfog lights eventually, I am not in the position to buy them right now.

As a solution, I read this post at acuramdx.org about a simple relay solution. This turns the low beams on when the car is turned on. However, they are always on… both when you start the vehicle and when you turn on the park lights. I was concerned about the load having the lights on when starting the vehicle and I wanted to have the park lights operating normally without the headlights on.

The following is how I got it to work:
