Default anyone know how to read schematics???- (for drl mod)!!

here is a schematic for the daytime running lights wiring in a 92 sc... i have a canadian sc in my possession(comes with drl stock from 1992!) and would like to take whatever parts neccessary off that car for my own non drl 95 sc... can anyone make sense out of this schematic?
i purchased 99-00 high beams(stock 1998-2000 comes with drl lights) thinking that this would make the drl lights work on my car if i plugged them in...no dice. is there a component missing? if so, can i find that missing component on that 1992 "donor" car and apply it to my sc? is the wiring between the two sc's that different??

hhhmmm... is at a matter of just placing a fuse in that missing slot and voila?-i'm going to try my luck right now...wish me luck!

thanks for any and all info leading to the success of this project!

Just swap the integration relay in the fuse/relay panel located in the left kick panel on the drivers side. There is a part number for Canada cars and a part number for US cars. See if they will fit. The parts manual I have only shows through 94.

where exactly in that fuse panel would i find this relay? what does it look like? does it have any distinct markings/color?(there are a few relays under there..) i compared the two fuse panels, and visually- they look identical. is it possible to take pics and show me?
.............much appreciated, thanx!!

On the GS all the headlight relays and other relays are behind the car battery in that box (I assume it it the same for SC). Take the lid off and look under the lid for a description of what each relay is. There will be some empty slots. So I guess you would have to buy whatever relay would go there for the DRL (there are a few different types of relays) and run all the wires from that point to wherever they would need to go to meet the Canadian specs. Not a fun job.
