Pull out the light switch. Disconnect the wire for the DRL's, bend the tip, and wrap a piece of electrical tape around it.

You can also just pull the relay under the dash. Should be marked "173" on the relay. Position 7 or 8 I think . I prefer this over the more destructive switch method. Only drawback is that your parking brake warning light won't work any more. Wouldn't bother me, but for some it might. You can probably make a jumper that'll reactivate the e-brake warning if it concerns you.

Good luck.

Default drl

the easiest way is to pull out your switch by pushing it down and turning it as if you were turning on your headlights. disconnect the harness from the switch and in the switch there are some pins look for the pin that says TFL and wrap a piece of tape around it and plug it back in and then you would have disconnected your drls
