My dealer wouldnt turn them off for the life of god! said it was safety and told me to bring it up with Lexus of North America and get a waiver from them first before they will turn them off...
If I knew this dealer was such a donkey's butt I would NOT have bought the car from them.

It's located in Volume 3, under the Lighting Section on Page LI-10, Customize Parameters, DRL Function (USA only). Default is ON, have it changed to OFF. Simple enough. But most dealers will put a puss on because they don't know that it can be turned off. Just insist on it. If they say they can't do it, then ask them why is the choice even available in the LPS? After I pointed the section out to my dealership service department, they first went and tried it out on the demo GX. Then they did mine and the tech even thanked me for pointing out the section since quite a few customers had asked to turn off the DRL's, but he didn't know it could be done. And he is a Lexus certified class A technician.

Your are kidding right?!? That's the funniest excuse I've ever heard. I'm pretty sure all the components are engineered for these normal loads.
?? if you're driving, you don't even see them?? Just my 06 cents.
