nstg8r Posted April 26, 2013 Share Posted April 26, 2013 What I did when I disabled my DRLs, was just pull the connector out half way and then tape it. This way it doesn't rattle around. I've since reconnected it, however. Someday, when I get the chance or I'm really, really bored, I'm going to create a relay harness that will use the DRL circuit but bypass the the high beams allowing us to add on an LED DRL setup.
