How did you get past the DRL & the child safety thing?

Did you just hook-up fog lights? Where can u buy the child safety thing?

Rich_A
DRL = wire your headlight lowbeams into a constant power source ie: ignition.

i just went to the dealership, to have my DRL's set up as they would be from factory, and I bought the child safety restraints from the parts department at the dealership and installed them myself

in all honisty, from what i've been told multiple times, the safety restraints need to only be in the car during the inspection. not installed, just in the car somewhere.

for me thought i had to put a hole in an interior panel to have it in the car, and i figured i might as well keep it in since id rather have a small hook, vs a hole, or having to replace a few hundred dollar panel

DSM
Yes it just needs to be in the car. I still have mine in the orginal package from 6 years ago when I imported my first Eciplse.
