Hmm, tempting. clean house and well fed, or sugar momma? Decissions, decissions.

Wish I had an answer for you. I need to do the complete opposite of this on a 03 with xenons, anyone know if it is as easy as connecting fuses 9 and 10?

I really don't have an exact answer but I would think this is basic electrical stuff. So here it goes.

If you found the light sensor and unplugged it from the harness, that might work. If that does not work, then run a jumper wire to close the circuit. It has to be one way or the other.

Yes, but my car did not have it so I was giving another possibility.

Not sure, but here is a relay designation if you want to try pulling them. If you do use I will settle for a french women OOHHH LA LA... but needs to be clean and well fed.
