Hey,
I am looking for a Ralliart (US Only) ETAX unit, it is the gizmo that controls the lighting system in our cars including interior stuff I belive.
It has to be the us version without daytime running lights.
Part number #MR515500
It is found in the fuse box under the hood the big box also know as "front ecu".


Will trade with someone who wants daytime running lights.

Thanks guys

What's wrong with the daytime running lights?

Aren't DRLs required up there in Canada?

yes DRLs are required in Canada and not a bad idea either. Most ppl want to remove them to get an HID setup. Can't run HID all the time - the would burn/blow out I guess.

On the 02/03 disableing them is easy. There is a module behind the bumper. On 04 >, it is imcorporated within the front ECU.

It's the low-power mode of the DRLs that burns out the HID system. So put the HID lights on your high beam circuit. If you want to have your HIDs and fogs on at the same time, that's easy to wire up.

Or if you had sliding H/L (high and low beam) HID's like I do then you need it, otherwise it would be a wiring nightmare. I have HID's right now, but I want the H/L, so this is a nessary evil, I could buy the module through work but it still costs over $150.
If anyone wants to buy my Helios setup it is a month old, receipt provided as proof of age.

And it is currently wired to only go on with high beams, it was the easiest way.

So nobody has a wrecked car that they are parting out?

if i remember correctly there are more than 1 etax in our cars. 2 i think. 1 for each side. i know that is the case for the diamante, we had one get struck by lightening and your truly had to do the elictrical repair...had nightmares for months.

I only see one in my Caps diagram, i have talked to the techs at work here and they think there is only one. We have all of two Diamantes in this city, not a big seller in the one year we had them up here.

So anybody wanna sell me an Etax or what?

There is an etax under the dash behind the fusebox, not sure which controls lights though. Dealership here just replaced mine and the part(under warranty) is 350USD

ok, the ETACS is under the dash behind the fuse box, and the front-ecu is under the hood on the fuse box. DRL's are controlled by the front-ecu.

here are some diagrams
