Makes no sense anyway to want it removed.
Agreed. What possible reason would someone have to disable DRL's? It's not as if they negatively affect the car's performance or visual appeal in any way. Besides, DRL's are a proven safety feature.

This is why!

I have after market HID headlights (Hi/Lo). Disabling the DRL relay would give me an option of keeping my HID bulbs off during the day. It keeps things way cooler as those HID's get HOT. I wouldn't have to worry about things melting on long trips 5 hour plus or more. This would really add to the length of the life of the bulbs too. I would just turn on my LED running lights that are connected to my parking lights. I would still have my super bright LED DRL on without wearing out my HID's and keeping things cooler. I care about being visible! I would just turn on my headlights (maybe even on HIGH beam) if I needed to be seen even more in the day. So basically I would be driving around most of the time with my (parking lights/LED DRL) on. My cob LED DRL's look way better anyhow and they're freaking bright!

HID's is one main reason it's why I disabled mine.
