Disabling Daytime Running Light
I have an '03. I was able to keep the DRL's from coming on by simply pulling out relay #22. Put the pulled relay into dummy slot #17 to the right of relay #9 in case you ever need it. No need to snip any legs off the relay. They ain't cheap.
I have also disabled the feature that turns on the lights when the car is in a darkened area. If anyone is interested how let me know.
Having all those lights on when not needed can chop 1-2 mpg off your gas mileage since the alternator has to kick in to juice 'em.
Finally, my horn was sounding all the time. It is combined with the airbag & you can't fix just the horn switch without screwing with the bag (a dangerous proposition). I had to come up with a workaround that still gives me horn control although the push button switch is mounted on the turn signal arm. Anybody with the same problem let me know.
Keep 'em rollin'.
