Day Time Running Lights

[rmjt2000]

Please excuse a dumb question but I just purchased a 2002 Liberty Ltd and heard that the Canadians have day time running lights and all Jeep did was change a relay in the fuse box. Is this true and is this possible to aquire/install for the US versions to have day time running lights? rmjt2000

Some people have done it. But in order to do it, you have to change the computer in the Liberty to another country to one that supports the DRL.

But I believe once you do that, all you have to do is pop the relay in.

In my opinion it's not worth the hassle, because most dealers don't like doing the change in the computer.

Thanks Bennett! I assume you mean re-configure the computer? Or do you mean replace the computer? Should be something they can do with a push of a button. However, if there is money to be made, I am sure there will be much more involved. Sure hope this Jeep Liberty turns out to be a good vehicle. rmjt2000

Yes I meant reconfigure the computer.

Here's an article from somebody that has done it.
