Color of diode for headlight mod?

[OrangeCrush]

I was doing some reading and forgot about the headlight mod that I had done in my '03.

I remember how to do it but over the years, I've got TONS of diodes laying around. Does anyone know what color stripes are for part No. 276-1102?

I know they're not expensive but since I've got them laying around, I'd just rather do the mod now than wait until Radio Shack opens.

Thanks,

Mark

Diodes aren't color coded, resistors are. Diodes only have a stripe at one end to indicate polarity. Typically black with a silver stripe at one end.

The Rat-shack diode may have IN4003 printed on it. Thats what the 276-1102 actually is.

Hope it helps.

OMG, I'm so stupid. Thanks Dave, didn't realize I was thinking of resistors.

Guess I'm making a trip to RS afterall.

Thanks,

Made a post in the DRL mod post but I'll post it here too. I picked up a few diodes today. I soldered and heatshrunk them. I've got 3 extra.

For the first 3 people that PM me, I'll send one in the mail. Just email me your address.

Hey Mark,

Glad to see you back in the game.

Mark I did the DRL mod in summer of 2004 on my 2005 H2. I never used the diode and never had problems.

I kept meaning to ask why use the diode?

Hey TAZ, the diode is so the HEADLIGHTS are OFF during the day....

Hey Taz, Thanks, glad to be back. I really realized how much I missed being in an H2 when I drove off in my new one....

I did the mod too on my '03 and never used a diode. This time, I just wanted the DRL's on only during the day.
