DRL (Daytime Running Lights)

Enabling/Disabling DRL (Daytime Running Lights) (Saab 9-3 2003-)

You may find the fact that from the factory, most of our cars come with the lights defaulted to ON in all positions of the dash exterior lighting switch. This adjustment cannot be found in the common adjustments, like in some other models. In order to change the values, we need to re-add the following 2 modules to the car: UEC (Under-Hood Electrical Center) and REC (Rear Electrical Center).

In order to modify the configuration of your DRL's, follow this procedure.
