DRL Off switch on Camry but not the IS??
So I'm traveling for business and I've got an '07 Camry rental, while messing with the various setting, I noticed that below "Auto" function on the headlight switch, there is a "DRL Off" switch that actually turns off the DRL's. Kinda frustrating that a $20K base model Camry has this function and our ~$40K IS's dont!
Sorry for the low quality shots but its dark out and all I have is a cell phone camera but you can make out where it says "DRL Off"

Great pic buds.I had the car 8 months and never saw that DRL print.Seems if you have to choose whether you want Auto On or no DRL.

A lot of people like them off for cosmetic reasons only. I don't really have a preference but the ability to turn them off when I wanted to would have been nice.

I turned mine off because I am using PIAA light bulbs on my high beams and dont feel like wearing them out because the DRL are on. plus if you have them on it drains more power from your battery and inturn need to replace your battery more often. I know it is low wattage but if you left a light on in your house even with low wattage you still use energy. And for those people that only drive 5 mins trips guess what you wont be about charge your battery because you more load on the battery. :P

Its not like the IS300....
The new IS won't run with the DRL resistor un-plugged or it might run with a Check engine light on... don't remember exactly...
The only known way is to have the dealer turn them off..
