Hey Guys,
I've been having some DRL issues so I just pulled the fuse as I am getting seperate lights. Problem is the DRL light on the instrument panel stays on... Is there any way of waiving it off? Thanks

why did you pull the fuse, what were the issues?

Aftermarket LED's screwed something up. Getting seperate daytime philips lights. Does anyone know how to waive the DRL light off the panel? Thx

This is important! You should always state any mods to the system.

There is a DRL relay which cuts power to the circuit if a bulb is burnt out (or if the relay thinks the bulb is burnt out).

LED's create far less resistance so the relay cuts power to one of them, look into installing a resistor to boost the resistance of the bulb which does not light up.

Thanks for the info. I kindof looked into that but i appreciate you explaining it. I'm going to order a resistor. Will the DRL relay reset it self after I install the resistor? Like will the light work right a way you think? Thx

It should.

Basically a relay has two coils in it and when voltage is allowed to flow through one coil, by electro magnetics it causes the other coil to push electrons. (If you're interested look into Faraday's law).

So granted the relay was working before the LEDs, it should still be functional.
