How To Disable Drl's (new)
 

The DRL relay is relay #22 in the engine bay fuse box.

the first pic is the side you won't be dealing with of the relay.

2nd pic is the correct side with the two contacts with a very small space in between of them, THIS IS WHERE YOUR TAPE/CARDBOARD WILL GO.

i used a piece of cardboard, the pic of the relay/cover/cardboard piece should give you an idea of how wide and long it is.

last pic is of the cardboard installed in between the contacts, no more drl's and no svs light.

I'm curious if anyone else has done this...I did it this afternoon...took like 3 min. I'm just wondering if putting cardboard in there is gonna set my car on fire?

must i always repost info? haha o well

I'm sorry...you already posted somewhere the answer to my question?

your car wont start on fire.

A) there isn't enough current
B) many capacitors are made with cardboard and oil (and they store ALOT more power)
C) you'd need a spark, the cardboard is an insulator to prevent current from passing.

Your safe.

aah thamk you. everyother way i tried didnt work (either threw an SVS light or only one of my highs worked. model year 99)

gotta question i got an 03 and im trying to disable drls but if my car is in park and on auto they arent on but when i go to drive the parking lights turn off and and so do my fogs but my drls work is this right???

I used electrical tape and called it a day

I just broke the pin off. I mean, when are you ever gonna need to convert it back?

I just did this mod like 5 minutes ago. Soooo easy and great tutorial ;)

simple, i did mine little different... I tap into the BCM.

had mine done for about a year no problems

worked on my 02

I have an '03.... my drl relay only has 4 pins(missing the middle pin from the one pictured) I just pulled the relay out, still have automatic lights, and no svs light.

anyone have the pics for this? looks as though they were lost when the server changed. just got my hids and im looking to do this before installing them.

That's what I like about the '03, only had to pull the relay to disable the drl.

anyone?? id like to get this done before the weather gets too terrible again

I have a 99 and would like to know which pin you snapped off and do
you have a picture of this?
Thanks.

hate to revive an old thread but does anyone have a pic of where I need to use tape or cardboard?

i just cut off pin 87a or 87 (forget which one) so there was no connection.
