Default Removing daytime running lights

I search but nobody really have a difinite answer?!!? can it be turned off, without removing, the bulb, fuse, or relay? Has anybody had their dealer turn it off? If so how did the dealer do it?

thanks in advance.

What happens if you take off the bulbs? Do you affect the regular headlights or do you trigger any type of warning?

It's in the Customization. You will have to go to the dealer and let them hook up the scan tool to turn off the DRL.

Last time they told me "Not possible, go home ! ", so I may need a written down procedure
to let them follow-up.

Yes. VVT-I is "in the know" on this sort of thing..... your local dealer may be reluctant or not as well trained and smart as he is though

i was just browsing through my posts...and this is ironic...i have a pair of daylight savings bulbs that are still semi-working...i say that because they are not on during the day...but at night when my lights trigger to be on...they're on...so i'm thinking one of the filaments in the bulbs is burnt out...funny...i kinda like it like that...lolz...

CleanM3 - maybe i'll trade you mine if you're still searching for solutions after almost two years..haha ..=D
