Did this on an 07 liftback today. I'd say it's closer to an Atari cartridge than a pack of cigs, but to each his own
Thanks Chris. Easy as pie w/ the writeup. |

Any chance your insurance company would use the fact that you have modified your lighting on the car as a large loophole to deny you payment in case of accident?

No.
But in CANADA, anythings possiable! |

Highly unlikely. There are no DRL laws here in the States. My state doesn't even do inspections any more. Lots of crap piles rolling around the roads around here.

Insurance companies are quite good at finding reasons to deny a claim and if the car came equipped with DRL's and they were deactivated the insurance company might use that fact in a denial of claim,but as you said probably highly unlikely.

Is there a way to add DRL's to my '07 sedan?

nope, not legal. They cannot deny coverage of an accident if you have coverage for it for ANY reason. The only thing they could do is remove your discount for having DRLs

DRLs are legally required in Canada, have been for many years. Any newer car without them would stand out like a sore thumb - attract a ticket really quickly. So, whatever the Americans want to do, don't copy them if you live in Canada.

It's approximately the middle of the night, and my dog is takin' up the good spot on the bed anyway, so I just went outside on took out the relay. I'm happy to no longer have daytime running lights. Thanks for the thread.

This really is a must for any teenage Yaris owners that might be out there. The car is quiet enough that you can sneak it back in after your curfew, but you'll never get past your mom and pop with those DRLs. This is also an excellent mod for drug dealers, as that practice often involves sitting in a parking spot with no lights on.

Last Christmas I went with the kids through a couple of large drive-through Christmas light displays. I was severely aggravated at the cars with DRLs they couldn't turn off.

Yep, and those of us who work on military bases have to dim our lights when we enter the gate. They realize that is impossible for cars with DRLs (as my last car had), but they still appreciate those who can!

Those things really need a switch to disable them.

I just did mine a second ago, would have been five minutes but i couldnt get my big ass hand around the box.
I do have a question though, our multifunction switches are the same as all new toyotas. I recently swapped wiper switches with a prius since it has a intermittent rear wiper and the speed controls for the front wipers, our cars dont have the speed controls frol what I have seen. The controls worked for the front but it looks as if the Yaris was never meant to have intermittant rears. Sorry, I'm off point... What I am trying to say I guess is the 07+ Camry has a selection on the multifunction switch for DRL off, could we also just swap sticks and then just have a extra selection to shut them off? It actually takes even less time to swap that. A friend of mine has a new Camry so I'll see if he will let me try it. BTW, I hate DRLs. Nothing like burning a light bulb out every 6 months...

Excellent
Thank you for this excellent and simple How To. I have been pulled over twice at night because I did not have my lights on. Luckily I have not been ticketed yet. I see the DRLs and think my headlights are on. I just did this after lunch and because of this post it took me all of about 5 mins. Thanks!
