Hey, sorry for the late reply. There is a lot more activity over at MO for more help. I have disabled my auto lights, which also disabled the DRL's. All you need to do is snip a wire behind the glovebox.
Now for a switch, you can wire it up to a simple on/off switch. So when you want your DRL's and auto lights, you keep the switch on. When you want to control your lights yourself (i.e turn them completely off at night), you just switch to off and then you will be able to physically turn your low-beams off as well as not having your DRL's on.
Here are some pictures of the wire you need to cut. I did not put in a switch because I use my fog's as DRL's.
Push in on the two top sides of the glove box and gently pull down. Do not let it just drop as the hydraulic can come out and is apparently hard to put back in:
This is the connector you need to pull out. At the top right hand corner. You probably should disconnect the battery before you do this. I didn't, but its advisable when working with any electronics:
You cut this wire, it is blue, and is adjacent to the thick white/black stripped wire:
Tape the two ends like so, mine is a sloppy job but does the trick. Make sure you leave enough wire in case you want to ever re-connect the two wires. This was an afterthought for me, but I can probably still manage:
Now if you wire up a switch, you obviously skip the last step and solder wire to each ends, and connect to a switch of your choice and locate where is convenient to you!
Finally, enjoy the comfort of controlling your own lights! I take no responsibility if something does not go right, it worked for me and many others, so use at own risk!!!
Hope this helps!
