Did you try calling Sewell down by Love Field? I'm sure they will be more reasonable.

60-120 considering the loa or rate is 120 I think. I got mine done for free at my Lexus dealer here in Virginia. Just call down and ask to speak to one of the service advisors then ask if he/she knows a good tech out back that could help you out with your issue. My guy only took 10-15 minutes and it was out front waiting for me. Good luck.

Wel drl are the hi beams, and if I take them off, I dont have high beams...
if take fuse out, they will still be on, I dont even know what the fuse is for then...
they look yellow when on, it doest look luxurious.

Other people put let bulb but if u do that, u will lose your high beams, and wont pass inspection.

So just need the computer they use st dealership that is called TECHSTREAM so I can connect under dash, go to lights control and switch DRL from ON to OFF.

is a simple process that wont take like 2minutes max, once connected to the car.

thats why I want them off...

Not sure what you're talking about when you say if you take the fuse out the DRLs will still be on. If you remove a fuse to something, it doesn't work anymore. That's it.

I had mine turned off at the 1,000 mile inspection. I can't imagine why anyone would want to pull the fuse on their high beams, or remove the bulbs. I'm kind of partial to being able to throw some light out in front of me when it's really dark.

Try a local Toyota dealership....

They get a kick out of working on simple things like this, on the IS-F
