How do I get rid of Daytime Running Lights Temporarily

[33light]

Fuse 22 in the panel by your left knee. It's a 10A.

That’s genius where can I find more information?

@Brisco Helped me with the DRL cable harness.

@seselectronics sells plug-and-play modules if you wanted to run your fogs light independent of your low beams.

In theory could you not just put a switch into the DRL fuse so that you can turn them on or off independent of anything? Something like this? https://www.ebay.com/itm/3750931576...N0uouL57MguI9kxQqB3SE0-NcJbKELlRoCbNYQAvD_BwE

but really, you could find the fuse, and wire up a switch

Bro, that thing looks like a hack job you could make that yourself.

i’m kind of stupid with electrical so i would not attempt something like that myself. but in theory a switch of this design would work right? with the added bonus of being able to install it on one of those blank buttons right above the obd port. could also add a fuel pump switch with the same exact type of switch, since the fuel pump has a fuse there.

Why wouldn’t taking out a fuse work?

There is no fuse specifically for the DLRs. They are controlled by the BCM (Body Control Module). Nor is there a way to shut just them only off. They are required to be on by federal law.

In the United States? I looked into it and in my state specifically they’re not required

That’s a good idea, I’ll look into it

There is a specific fuse for the DRLs, fuse 22 on the interior fuse box.

Oh, sorry no, I was speaking as a Canadian. My bad.

In the USA only IL, ML, GA and MO have regulations requiring them in some situations.

True in Canada where they were invented—or at least first demonstrated to have a safety benefit. Not true in the US FMVSS.

They may require headlights, as does, IIRC, FL in the rain, but that’s not the same as DRL which are not present on many US vehicles, are not even the same lights on many or most vehicles that do have them, e.g., Honda Civic, and, to the OP’s request, not separately controllable.

Here's an example of a European stalk that allows you to toggle the DRLs.

I’d love to replace mine but the wiring would be a nightmare
