Momentary Switch/LED Strip?
I will apologize in advance, perhaps wrong forum, but did not find a place for this question anywhere else.
As many of you are aware, DRL's are required by law in Canada. But I cant stand how my allroad uses the parking lights + fog lights as the DRL. I want to change this by disabling this function with VAG-Com (as far as I know this is doable by setting the country code to the US spec) and introducing another light source for the DRL function - maybe an LED strip. BUT, and here is where the question comes in......do you know of a momentary switch that can be used for this?
What I was envisioning, is to have the LED strip come on automatically as the DRLs whenever I start the vehicle, but have the ability to disable/turn off the strip when not needed/wanted.....so the circuit should be 12V hot at all times with a switch that powers it off until next power cycle.
Is there such a beast? Is there a wiring schematic for this? Any help would be greatly appreciated guys.
