manual doesnt tell you poop
search for a thread on drl or daytime running light disable
to sum it up, you wedge something in between two contact points in the fuse box underneath the hood. for specifics, locate that thread.
member who posted it was BRIM

You can also remove your high beam bulbs if you're just a city slicker.

relay is in the fuse box under the hood, clearly marked for the DRLs.

tech. no it won't hurt, but if you really NEED your SVS light for a real reason, you're going to have no clue if its real or fake...I might have an extra I can hook you up with.

I think that only happens on the 2002 and older ones. '03 and '04 use the low-beams and in my case have no SVS light.
