Day time Running light....how to disable?

[johnnyfive]

definetly have the cold weather package(was told all cars sold in wisconsin came with it), and definetly dont have daytime running lights..

[why?]

Now that is odd.

LOL, they come on the liftback in the cold weather package only. The sedan isn't tortured with them.

Exactly, thats what my shop manual said as well..

Ok, now that we've determined who has them, how do you safely turn the bloody things off?

Its already been said twice, read the thread, and try it.

DRLs aren't that bad, you wanna talk annoying, how about "seatbelt reminder beep." WOW I hate seatbelts!

Yea, where exactly?

What works for the Celica and Echo, DO NOT work for the 07 Yaris.

I still have yet to locate a TSB for the 07's

If I remember correctly the module that controls the DRLs is behind the little cubby hole that is on the us driver side under the radio. You have to find a way to get there. there was a discussion about it on yarisowners.com

if u pull your e brake up while the car is turned off then turn your car on n let the e brake go down just enuff so the car can move freely also the brake light must be on. if u do that then your head lights will be off the u will have controll of them .Thats what i do on my Hatch

What is all this?? I have driven small cars since 1957, and the only real hazard is not being seen! Why would anyone drive a car that is already not all that visible go out of one's way to make it even worse?

Whatever, go for it, just remember whre you saw it first.

.

Polar never did say why he wanted to disconnect this safety feature but i'll assume he is into hypermiling and wants to save some money.
Be aware that BC laws require that if the vehicle was produced with daytime running lights those lights must be operating properly in order to drive legally today.

I had to disable my DRL's for my HID's. But just because you disable your DRL's, doesn't mean you're not going to drive with your headlights on during the day. I always do.
