I want to disable DRL so I can install HID kit. Since the kit will be too bright , lights will be only used when driving with high beams on.

I have seen on RX forum changing relay solution.

Does anyone know where the relay is on GS or what is the easiest way to disable DRL? Tried the dealer and they refuse to disable the DRL

Thanks!

I did that on my RX. I did not, and still do not know how to do it on a GS. I was not able to locate the relay to even try that mod. I ended up paying the dealer $60 and they turned them off, but not before calling the regional Lexus and getting their approval.

READ YOUR OWNER"S MANUAL!!!

It is part of your LPS, you can ask your service advisor to turn off the DRL!!!

That is what I did first thing I did to my toy!!!


Actually it is kinda weird, b/c in my friend's Camry it has the on/off switch for the DRL... Yet on their premium vehicle, we do not!?!

I am afraid you are incorrect. It is not part of LPS.

This is more than likely a CBEST setting though. A sorta non-published LPS. I will confirm next week when I get my hands on a scantool.

just drive into the dealer and ask for them to program it off.. it's that simple

AGREE!!!

If they refuse to do so, then "DEMAND" it b/c in the owner's manual, we do have the option to turn off the DRL!!!

It is part of "unpublished" LPS, in which you have to read the owner's manual to find out about it (not all States required to have DRL)!!!

just install the kit. the DRL will not run. we were just discussing this on another thread; rominl pointed out that the DRL run off 50% power, which is not enough to ignite. at least, that's how mine run anyway. i installed the plug n play kit, and have no DRL, just parking lights.

Where in the manual does it states that DRL can be turn off? I couldn't find it.

Since the electric current keeps running even though bulbs are not igniting, will the life of the ballast or bulbs be shorten. Are you sure that your lights are not flickering while driving?
Spoke before with folks at v-leds.com and they told me that I will experience flickering since there is only 50% of power provided. I can add DRL module that will provide full power but I will be blinding oncoming traffic.

Considering it is illegal NOT to have DRLs in most places outside of the US, there is a reason not to have a switch or include it in LPS.

If my dealer turned it off, they would possibly be commiting a crime and I would get a ticket which allows the police to impound my car if I don't get it fixed in a certain number of days.

Likewise, fewer buttons = better IMO.

Hmm.....The Infiniti does not have any DRL on any of their cars......

During my last visit to Lexus dealership to change my setting I have asked them to disable DRL as well. I got a polite NO.

Any ideas?
