Is it easy to make auto daytime running light on a S2 from 1994? Can i just replace a relay or something like that?

The daytime running light relay is a "214" in position 7 in the underhood/bonnet Auxiliary Relay panel No. 1

Sorry. I mis-read your original post, thinking you were asking about an UrS4 with daytime running lights. In that case, I think you just *REMOVE* that 214 relay in position 7 in that UrS4/S6 fuse/relay box. For an S2, I am surprized/shocked that you have daytime running lights. I thought that that was a North American and Japan thing only. BUT...you wouldn't just remove the 204 and replace it with a 214, you would want to remove a relay period.
Do you have a photo of the top of the relay box lid that shows the relay and fuse layout like this one from a SAfrican RS2 (which has a 204 horn relay where you are thinking the daytime running light relay is located):

But relay no. 7 is just signal horn.

Sorry. Apparently I can't read.
The answer is "No. It is NOT easy to make auto daytme running light on an S2 from 1994".
I know that the Canadian UrS4/S6s with daytime running lights have a completely different lighting harness than the American UrS4/S6s without daytime running lights.
The easiest way for you to make daytime running lights is this Post-it note attached to your instrument cluster (in Danish, of course
)

Maybe you can answer another question for me. Earlier today I changed the key to the other one i got with the car because i found out the remote lock was working in that one. But when i started the car this evening to move it i saw the immobilizer icon was flashing in the dashboard. Why? It starts as normal an stays on for at least 1 min, then I turned it off

I can't answer your immobilizer key question but I can add a "faint hope" clause to the daytime running lights question.
My 93 UrS4 is a Canadian model with daytime running lights. When the engine is on, the headlights are on at 70% power and the taillights are on (I think at 100% power).
In 2007, I imported a 98 C4 A6 Avant from the US. This has the same headlights as an UrS6 (low, high and fog in one unit). It did NOT have daytime running lights because it was a US-delivery car. In order to make it legal in Canada, it had to have daytime running lights. This was done at the import inspection/approval facility. I don't know exactly what they did but I know they added a relay that turns the fog lights on when the ignition is on. It is arranged such that when I turn the headlights on, this new relay drops out of service and the fogs go off (unless I turn them on). This could be a way for you to work out daytime running lights at the front. This did nothing at the rear, unlike the factory system that also turns the tailllights on.RS2'd 93 UrS4 5 spd sedan

On this topic, I've wondered if the front sidelights could be easily configured to run as 'DRLs'.
(Not headlights and without any tail lights coming on)
It would be like turning on the parking lights with the stalk but no rear lights coming on.Comment
