Have been in contact with Ken and registered with the NW group. As we are boaters (48 Ft.) we do a lot of cruising. We also live on Vancouver Island so the proposed Sept. cruise will be a must.

1- Modual is by Grote [www.grote.com model 44040 DML. Cdn $99.00 after discount. This would be about $36.00 US (joke).I got mine at a Mopar dealer.

2- Unit has three wires - Pink to Accessory wire on ignition connections. Use a tester to ensure there is only power on this line when key is turned on. Check by turning on accesories only. If still on wrong wire. Blue wire goes to the low beam head lamp + wire, and the yellow to the parking light + wire.

3- Remove driver side panel, headlight access panel, and on the inside the driver underdash panel (two screws) and the access cover under the steering wheel (three torx screws). I now have a set of torx drivers.

Part 2- installation in new reply.

1- I mounted the module on the verticle surface towards the firewall.
2- This note is typical for all wire connections. When you have located the correct wire,with a sharpe knife (Exacto type) strip off about 1 inch of insulation, with the same stipped off of the module wire wrap it around the other wire and solder. Wrap joint in tape then rewrap loom.
3- For the low beam headlight undo the connector by the fuse box to make life simpler. Locate the + wire and connect. Do the same for the park light in the side panel. The lines back to the module I wrapped in nylon loom for protection. Leave enough slack for panel and headlight connector removal.
4- For the pink to the ignition connector strip off loom about a foot back from the ignition connector. Carefully locate the orange/black accessory wire (NOT the black/white). Make your connections and test.
5- Test by turning on ignition - low beam should come on. Turn on park lights- low beam should go out.Turn on headlights and all should be normal. Test high beams.
Turn key to accessory setting and low beams should go out.

Good luck, hope this helps, and the usual disclaimer that I am not responsible for anything.

In Europe some states have DRL law. Austria canceld this law past year.

There is a strong discussion going on, if it is safer if all cars driving during daylight , with light.
Motorcycles have to drive with lights on in Germany.

Studies showed, if all cars are running with DRL, it produces more CO2 pullucion than a average city does.

Aniway, EU wants that all EU Countrys run daytime light, beginning in 2012. In 2011, all new produktion cars must have DRL.

So, if I keep my Prowler a couple years, I have to think about a daytime runnig light system, maybe on LED basis.

more and more laws, I dont like it . . .

I have the same signal lights as Cnote has posted which come with additional lights that are mounted behind the grill, since mine is a Canadian car these come on with the signal lights as running lights but when the headlights are turned on the grill lights and signals go out , I would like to do the reverse of what you have done, How do I do that?

Great guide, I dont know if they changed it or was a simple oversight, but my blue went to park wire, and yellow to low beam wire... I followed the guide instead of looking at my instructions that came with the unit and to my surpise it light up the opposite way , I just resoldered the wires and it was all good

This is the first car I've ever worked on, and was a bit reluctant to drill through the firewall, so I routed the ignition wire through the side panel of the car instead.

This module worked great, and easier to install than the canadian tire version.

I didn't plan on installing this myself, but my local canadian tire said they can't install it when I took it to them and with only a few days left for inspection I didn't have much choice but to order the part from a local company ($40) and install it myself (free, soldering parts were free as well as I am a solderist by profession.

Loving my 01 Mulholland Prowler. Now I am ready for some new upgrades. The first being the speakers... guess I am at the right board for advice !

Cheers,
