I am curious about this one... Daytime running light resistor disconnected I don't like being told when to run my lights :) Is there a how-to? I couldn't find it on the search. I have to give you the award to the Most Additional Lighting :) I think you could be a make shift runway :D

The only lights on my car that are still stock are the glove box, instrument panels and ignition cylinder ring. :cool:

I also did a complicated wiring setup so I could defeat the high beam/drl circuit on demand. I never did a write-up (sorry guys), but it involves a donor relay, a new relay and a switch. Basically, you find yourself a cheap replacement relay, open it up, rip out it's guts, solder wires to the terminals, seal it back up, crimp on connectors, connect it to the OEM relay. Then you connect that mess via a 2-connector wire thru the firewall to another relay in the dash which is controlled by a switch. Here's where I put the switch: http://legacygt.com/forums/showpost.php?p=4519188&postcount=4266

I should have said the best way, at least my way, for cutting the 45.

 

I tightened the clamp onto the 45 and measured 3". I was able to use the edge of the clamp as a guide for my knife. That made it rather easy to cut.

 

And, for some reason, the HPS 45 made it easier to make the OEM snorkel and box line up.

 

Looks good!

I did it all freehand with a steak knife, lol. I also left a little extra on the ends to give at an extra tight fit. There is a lot less play with the whole setup now.

Even with the clamp on there and using a utility knife, it wasn't perfect. It just made it easier to follow a line.

 

I wish replacement hoses were offered for our 3.6R....
