ADDING DRLs in US NEED CANADIAN HELP!

hey guys, so I just took a look at the fuse box in the US model and there is a place for DRLs but its got no fuse.. iam thinking if you put the correct amperage fuse in place it will work? so I know the canadian's have DRLs and so I would like to ask one of them to please take a look in the fuse box and tell me what amp the fuse is so then I can find one and put it in there and see what happens... nothing bad an happen and if it does iam under warranty!

In the Canadian Honda vehicles that I have seen, the DRL system consists of a small control box housing some electronics and relays. And a couple of fuses in the fuse box that route power to the box.

In my 90 Civic and my 97 Prelude, the box is located behind the dash. I presume they use the same setup in newer Hondas. On the US Hondas, I believe the wiring harness is in place but ends with a open connector where the DRL box on Canadian cars plug into.

So my guess is that you would need both the DRL unit as well as a couple of fuses.
