i have a 99lt...soooo it should be the same.
i took the relay out of the fuse box under the hood...pulled the relay and bent pin #86 flat up. then put it back and taadddaaa...that simple.
double check that it will work for yours, dont see why not.

So removeing the fuse you can manually turn on and off the lights from the switch to the left of the steering wheel?

well by removing the fuse you will be required to physically turn on your headlights even when it is dark outside because removing it disables the system completley.

you bend the pin on the relay then put it back in....it does not affect the lights that come on when it gets dark...those work fine

Thumbs up

I just removed the fuse that was labeled DRL on the top of it and that killed mine, but I still have the auto lights that come on at night. I have a 98 LS

If I'm not mistaken, which I could be, when you pull the relay all together only one bright will come on in a '98 or newer. The headlights should be untouched no matter what but you will no longer have DRL's. If you plan on driving anywhere especially dark you should bend the pin and put the relay back in.

Another feature a lot of people don't know about is the interior dome button override.

Whether night or day, if you don't want the DRL's on, push the interior light button 4 times rapidly and wa-la. No DRL's!!! (or if it's night time out your headlights will turn off).
