drl disable

[theslowone]

is there any way to disable the drl's and use the auto headlight feature. gen 6

i hate the look of drls, but like the auto headlights....

just turn to low beams instead of auto. Or you could cover the light sensor. Or you could take out the DRL fuse. Or you could rewire your headlights

[theslowone]

the point is i just want to be lazy, and let them kick on by them selves , like the es300 this car is replacing. i dont like drls, and i thought there would be a simple cut a wire or fuse pull, that didnt have any bad happenings.

I know what you're saying, you want to leave them on auto so the low-beams come on when it gets dark, but during the day no lights will be on. I haven't looked myself, but the poster above said there may be a DRL fuse, so check out the fuse box covers and see if theres anything that states DRL.

Another solution is to remove the high beam bulbs, but then you won't have high beams..

I had this done on my ES350 first thing when I bought it. I brought it to the dealership and had them dissable DRL as part of the LPS option for my car. After that, the AUTO feature will still work just like before, just that DRL is never on during the day.

I'm not sure if this is possible on the Camry - try asking the dealership's service folks

oh yes this can be done no problem at all .. all u have to do is go to the dealer and tell them to turn the drl off they can use the scan tool .. thats what i did on mine along with the damn seatbelt buzzer.. its so nice..

Correct but it will probably cost you an hour labor charge.

According to the Toyota feature spec it has "Daytime Running Lights (DRL) with off mode"....their appears to be way to turn it off w/o all these tricks.

Yea, Turn it to the "off" position on the stalk. They want to be able to leave the switch in the "Auto" position w/o the DRL's coming on. This option is only programmable by the dealer.

Feel better, I guess you did not get my point...? ...but we also can discuss about a lot of other possible things people can come up with and what the car could or should do...

Hate the look?? You can't even see them. They're not for you anyways, they're for everyone else. :^)

[CamrySExxx]

^ thats what im thinking! you cant even see it unless you go to the front of your car and stare at it. Plus the drl's could possibly save your life someday.
