I searched I searched.

I have a 2000 avalon and are the steps the same for the camry to disable daytime running lights? Just unplug the little box and you're done?

I have the Toyota TSB and it states for the 00 Avalon Body ECU/connector B5/Pin #6 to disable. If you want the scan PM with E-Mail and I will get it to you.

Any particular reason you want to disable your DRLs? It helps, especially because a lot of people don't turn on their headlights in the blinding morning sun - which means it's hard to see oncoming traffic sometimes. I like the DRLs.. Though lately I've been seeing some '05 Camrys and they don't have DRLs

I don't like them beacuse I drive with my driving lights on and I think it looks 10x better without the DRL.

craig - coiuld you send me the book?

I took the relay out and it didn't turn on. What does this relay control? there were 3 of them

On the newer Camry (not sure what year it started) you can simply move the headlamp switch to a setting where the DRL's are disabled.

To the OP I will send what I have ( only the TSB )

Same here, I actually wish my Camry had DRLs. Got to look at some 2004/2005 Camrys and it's nice to see that there's an option to turn them off if the driver wishes to. Next car will be a Corolla, so by the time I buy they better still have DRLs!

I also don't think day time running lights look good. BUT I drive with my 3 year old daughter (My Precious Cargo) with me most of the time so it's not an option to turn them off (for her safety).

If DRLs are optional, I would take them.
Thats just imho. On my Gen3, I leave my heads on.
Besides the obvious, one upside is if you have laser speed traps in your state,
it makes getting a reading harder.
Also disabling them may be against State laws and your insurance could start beef with you on a claim, not that your insurance company would do that to you.
