cant figure out how to turn it off i see other GS's with them off thanks

Motu1

I think it may be bulb specific. I just bought some new bulbs(Sylvania) and now they are on all the time. The originals were not on.

Take out the bulbs

GS300Rich

Or you can put in one burned out bulb, if you take the bulbs out is there some kind of warning that will go off?

Try and do a search, there is a thread on how to disable them...it involves creating a jumper wire within the fuse box.

Take out the bulb=no more high beams.

There's a recent thread (I think by BananaGS?)that describes how to do it. All you do is remove a "jumper" in one of the fuse/relay boxes.

bananags has a diy but i think his site is down there. it's some fuse that you take out.

This is on my '01 GS430


NOTE: The left side has the 'tab' removed as you really have to wedge it into the holder with the DRL #1 minifuse





Drum roll please ..............



Presto .... NO MORE DAMN DRLs now I can put ANY 9005 bulb in there that I want (i.e. Toshiba HIR @ $30) without fear of blowing them early due to being on 90% of the time at half wattage.

...but i thought our DRLs have bulbs seperate from the high beams? How come i see 2 more bulbs inside the high beam housing?

Daytime Running Light = High Beam Lamp @ half voltage

The smaller bulb you see in the High beam housing is what's commonly referred to as the wedge light or city light . This small bulb only comes on with your low beams.
