I need to get in on this. I hate my DRL's. Hard to hide from the PO-PO with them on. lol. Where can I buy the software/cable? Or does anyone know if the dealer in Portland, OR will do this? Thanks all.

Can anyone post a link of the cable/softare that they have been successful with using to turn the drls off. I dont want to buy one that doesnt work and hoping everyone can share their experience. I am located in los angeles if anyone is also and wouldnt mind throwing someone some cash to help me disable these.
Thanks guys

Too lazy to read all of the comments but....
Because the is250 doesnt have a manual switch for you to turn your drls off and on, youre required to go to the dealership to turn off the drls if you wanted to avoid messing with the wires yourself. Although it doesnt matter in the case of MOST accidents, but if you ever have to declare your car as a total loss due to an accident, there is a slight(and by slight i mean like 5%) chance that the insurance company will see that you had your drls disabled despite your insurance policy stating that you do in fact have drls. in those cases, the insurance company REFUSES COVERAGE.
In case youre wondering, yes, i used to work as an insurance agent

alright so in the beginning it was a pain in the *** and I was completely lost, confirmed this WILL ONLY work on a windows XP computer or use the virtualbox. So my friend that works at geek squad 
had the virtualbox already installed on his laptop with windows xp, we loaded the software that came with the tech stream kit and followed the steps, connect it to the car, load the type of vehicle *which automatically comes up* Then on the left hit customize settings and hit lighting options and Day time running lights will come up and the ON will be highlighted, u hit off and hit the green arrow and your drls will be off within 5 seconds. Now I can run the led strip during the day! I'll snap a pic tomm!
