The topic title pretty much asks my question. I recently installed a ddm tuning hid kit in my truck and now wish to disable my dtrl system (i am in canada so i have it and do not want to run the bulbs all the time). I have done it before on my volkswagens and my audi. In my audi i just had to pull a relay and jump it, and my corrado i just had to snip a wire. I checked the fuse box and it looked like there was lots of other things that run off the same fuse as the dtrl's so i didn't want to pull the fuse. I know most of you guys want to install DTRL but i wish to prolong the life of my HID's

Cheers

put your e-brake down just enough to engage the switch but not enough to engage the brake.... And now your daytime running lights will be off.

And if you get a VI, you can just release the brake and you will be legal again

I am pretty sure there is a relay under the hood for the DRL. The manual tells you which one.

that would work but i would like to not have the parking brake light on in my dash. Where is the dtrl module located? can you just unplug it?

black electrical tape usually fixes my warning lights

I pulled the fuse over a year ago and it doesnt affect anything else. The fuse in the fuse box under the hood is the one you want to pull.

stupid question but the box that i suspect to be the dtrl would be located on the drivers side fender well?

Yup and its a small square fuse. The fuse says "5L3T-AA P6STD JAPAN 1734D5"
