will that work, esokol1?

I dunno, I just take out by "DRL" Relay, in the Fuse/Relay box in the engine compartment. The only problem is, is that then one of the High Beams (when you have your headlights on at night) won't work. The wire them together, cuz they don't want anybody to take out the "DRL" Relay. Why? Because "It's for safety!!". Why? cuz somebody did a "study" way back in the 1970's or something, and cuz that is what Canada does. What "safety"? All it can do is to cause someone else to have an accident, cuz they look over while they are driving, wondering why this idiot has his headlights on during the daytime.
Anyways.... that's my answer.

You can't just remove the relay. There are instructions on the forum on how to properly disable them.

And while you are entitled to your opinion about DRLs, they do make vehicles more visible, especially when the weather isn't cooperating and it is still daylight out. I can't see how a properly functioning DRL system would ever cause an accident.

I like DRLs. My dad hates them, the first thing he does when he gets a vehicle is disable the DRLs, the second is remove the bulb from the underhood light (never understood that one).

man I loved my drl's until I got HID's in the hi's and low's then the half powered hi drl lights weren't working out. what I did was remove the light sensor so that my lo beams would be on all the time. I like that because I never have to turn my headlights on
