If you turn the light switch one notch, the DRLs turn off and that other light comes on - you could leave it on that setting and take out the "other" bulbs. (Not sure what those bulbs are called...)
I believe that if you turn it one notch, the DRL's are still on. The DRLs only turn off when the main headlights turn on I believe. The first notch is for the parking/license plate lights.

DRLs are said to improve safety because they increase the visibility of the car to other traffic, especially on shadowy, tree-lined roads and at dawn or dusk. They increase safety as other drivers are more likely to see you.
If you want them removed, just tell your dealer, they will have it de-activated. It can be done without any faults triggering from the ECU onto your cluster. Any other means you would a warning lamp activated.
Personally I did not like the color ( Amber) so I decided to go the LED way.

If I could ask, what mods did you have to make to switch to LEDs? I wouldn't mind switching, but I don't wish to add resisters, etc. to make the LED bulbs work properly. Plug-and-play is what I'm looking for.

Also, since our front t/s bulbs are also our DRL bulbs, which LED bulbs did you use in the front? Several LED bulbs I have found on the web (listed as 1156 replacements) specifically state that they can NOT be used as DRL bulbs. Confusing to say the least....
