Disabling DRL
Disabling DRL
I want to disable DRL so I can install HID kit. Since the kit will be too bright , lights will be only used when driving with high beams on.
I have seen on RX forum changing relay solution.

Does anyone know where the relay is on GS or what is the easiest way to disable DRL? Tried the dealer and they refuse to disable the DRL
Thanks!

READ YOUR OWNER"S MANUAL!!! 
It is part of your LPS, you can ask your service advisor to turn off the DRL!!!
That is what I did first thing I did to my toy!!!
Actually it is kinda weird, b/c in my friend's Camry it has the on/off switch for the DRL... Yet on their premium vehicle, we do not!?!

If they refuse to do so, then "DEMAND" it b/c in the owner's manual, we do have the option to turn off the DRL!!!
I am afraid you are incorrect. It is not part of LPS.

thats crazy paying for it.. dealers can easily turn them off
just install the kit. the DRL will not run. we were just discussing this on another thread; rominl pointed out that the DRL run off 50% power, which is not enough to ignite. at least, that's how mine run anyway. i installed the plug n play kit, and have no DRL, just parking lights.
Where in the manual does it states that DRL can be turn off? I couldn't find it.

Spoke before with folks at v-leds.com and they told me that I will experience flickering since there is only 50% of power provided. I can add DRL module that will provide full power but I will be blinding oncoming traffic.

Considering it is illegal NOT to have DRLs in most places outside of the US, there is a reason not to have a switch or include it in LPS.
If my dealer turned it off, they would possibly be commiting a crime and I would get a ticket which allows the police to impound my car if I don't get it fixed in a certain number of days.
Likewise, fewer buttons = better IMO.
