How do I disable daytime running lights? I'm investigating HID right now, but my car has DRL which basically runs the high beam at 30% output. I need to disable this because HID will not function for DRL.

you drive an acura el? no clue... i doubt too many here know either... try maybe pulling out the fuse for them

Look under the steering wheel, cause thats where my fuses are located, on the panel there was a chart stating where all the fueses go, check there or it might be in the manual

Great, I'll take a look under there.

An EL is pretty near an EX Sedan. Not too many differences.

there a bunch of other people on the forums that have DRLs too, it seems like the New Yorkers especially, maybe one of them have found the fuse.

Is it just a fuse that enables the DRLs? I bought my car in NJ and it doesn't have them. I want to install them for the insurance discount.

In Canada, DRL is standard equipment. Supposedly leads to less accidents, however there is no real evidence to support this.

I believe its actually a relay that runs the DRL. Its been quite a long time since I remember reading about on ho to disable them with my old car but it had something to do with pulling the relay and then jump a wire between 2 of the pins so your regular lights still worked.

I tried it the other day and all I did on my CDN 01 Si was to pull the #3 fuse in the interior fuse box and they went off. The down side was that the DRL light on the dash came on. I am not sure how to stop this, as the other night I was driving and one of my PIAA's blew from then on the DRL light stayed on all the time as it disables them untill the blown bulb is replaced.
