Gen6 Disabling DRL's on 2007 SE

Anyone know how I can do this? Don't want to debate whether or not I should do it, just want to know if and how it is possible.

I don't quite understand your question...Disable DRL? Isn't it just turn it to the OFF position using the signal stalk?

You could be absolutely right ... I guess before I asked that question I should have read the owners manual

That will only turn off the low beams at night, if it is daytime your DRL's would be on unless you manually turn the headlights on. Other than a computer/dealer change or finding the fuse/relay I don't know how to disable them.

Wireless, I just went out to my car to double check.
OFF position=all light are off at all time.
DRL position=If bright daylight then your low beams are off and DRL are on.
If dark enough then your low beams are on and DRL are off.
Headlight position= Low beams are on (you do this on a foggy day to force the low beam
to be on and DRL to be off eventhough it bright outside)

So if Watchcrazy wants to disable the DRL, he has to options:
1. Turn it to OFF position.
2. Turn it to Headlight position.

No, law states the low beams to be on with fog lights, you would have to figure a wiring mod to give continuous juice to the lights and let the switch control them on or off.

you need a manual to operate the headlights?

OFF = means Off (nothing's on)

No ... I just assumed that like my previous car that the DRLs were always on and there was no way to turn them off. From what I have seen that is the norm ....

at off the DRL's are still on....go start up your car...they will be off...put the car into gear and let it move it bit..put it back in park and the DRL's will come on...

alright maybe they don't make this clear enough in the owner's manual, but in the 07's there's 4 settings...

OFF - all lights off, including DRLs, and will not automatically engage
AUTO - low-beams engage automatically in dark conditions, and disengage in bright conditions... when low-beams are disengaged, DRLs are engaged
● - DRLs, turn signals, parking lights, tail lights, license plate
LOW BEAMS

Come on Guys......Can you read your owners manual???????????

Canadians get no control over DRL's!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

U.S. drivers do.

Turn the switch to DRL off and DRL's will be off!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Stop the circle jerk!!!!!!!!!

If U.S. owners want the DRL's permanently off, and want to leave the light switch in AUTO, go to the dealer and have them switch the DRL's to permanently off with their intelligent tester.
