Will need to go to your local Mazda dealer and have the DRL function activated in the smart junction box. It is a programmable parameter that can be changed with no parts replacement needed.

No need to replace anything. I tried it on one of our stock vehicles and it took about 5 minutes.

Cool

sorry to bother, the mazda tech here isn't familiar with the procedure. Any chance you could email him directions?

His email is wrix@stcatharines.mazda.ca in the subject line put Tribute instructions....

If you dont wish to deal with him, could you email it to me? jrross1@cogeco.ca

Really appreciate all your help, thanks again......

Is the SJB change only relevant for newer models?

As i have an American 2003 Model that i imported to Canada and need DRL fitted and every Mazda dealer gives me a different response.

Some say i need a DRL Module, some say the Module doesn't work and a $20 relay needs running, and other's say don't bother get an aftermarket part.

So if the 2003 just needs this SJM that would be awesome.
