I understand that the DRLs are a safety feature but last night I put some 8000K HIDs in the truck. I have DRLs with Automatic lights, and the HIDs dont have a resistor to limit the power to them to have a DRL look, so i want to disable my trucks DRL function to save the life of my HIDs. Does anyone know where or how to disable the DRLs effectively without loosing the High, Low and automatic functions of the lights?

There is a small box somewhere around the drivers side of the front bumper that can just be unplugged.

250s work like that I am almost positive 150s do as well.

Can you give me a general description of the box?

Look in your owners manual and locate the fuse box/panel under the hood. Drivers side I believe. Open the fuse box up and by referencing your owners manual find where the drl relay is located in that panel and pull it out. Simple as that

I have never owned a truck with drls I just helped a buddy remove it a few years ago. I dont remember what it looked like.

so i found the box in my engine compartment and went looked in my owners manual and found it, but the relays for the DRLs arent there.

The only relays in that box are the DD1, F03, R202, R01, R02. There is nothing in the other spots. (see pictures attached)

ok the easiest simplest way of doing this without hurting anything(I've done it on mine) and the way u do this is crawl under your truck and just underneath the drivers side headlight there is one plug mounted on a bracket simply unplugs this and there you go DON'T MESS WITH THE RELAYS you will be losing other things . if you need pictures I can get some for u tomorrow

I'm also looking to do this. Could you post pics of how to do this

speeddemon86

What other things do you lose with the relays?! This is exactly what I did and I didn't lose anything but the drl's. And op the relay you are looking for looks like 201 in the first pic

I'm not sure about this relay but I know I've pulled them for other things and lost a few other things at the same time that's why I'm saying that
