DIY. How to disable DRLs

To cover my butt so no one can say I'm breaking the law by turning your drls off I'm adding a switch in the directions so when your on public roads you can return your DRLs to normal operation.

Here is what i did to disable my DRLs.

Cut the Gray wire "1B" in the big connector about 2" way from the blue box and caped it off.

Connect a 3" wire onto the Blue and Red wire "2D" in the small connector and run it to a small toggle switch and connect the Grey wire leading out of the big connector to the other side of the switch.

What this does is act like you have put the parking break on and turns the DRL off when you turn the switch on.


I have tested all the lights and everything is working just fine, now i can use my fogs as DRLs or no lights at all.

I did it by throwing the passenger side high beam bulb to a wall to break it, then remove the sharp glass pieces and the bulb wire... Then install the dead bulb back into the headlamp... And now, DRL disabled and I still have one high beam to blink slow traffic out of the way.

Its kind of stupid but it does its job =P
