DRL's
 
Are Lexus dealership still willing to turn off DRL's or what? I went to Longo and talked to 2 people and they said they can't turn it off. I can't stand the stupid looking DRLs anymore, the car looks prettier with it off.
Is there a way to turn it off yourself?

nope have to find a dealer that will do it for you. lots of posts on this. think somone even posted the codes they will need to do it.

Does anyone know a dealership in so cal that will do it for me?

On my RX300, there was a resistor underneath the upper left portion of my battery plate that I pulled off, a male/female connection, and that was the end of the DRLs (brights and everything else work normally). Not sure if Lexus got smart and reconfigured it.

I hate DRLs.

So you're in SoCal? Ahh my dealer then is probably too far, but they did it for me.

i asked the service guy that came out to program my lps settings to do it for me.

why dont you just change the light bulbs to blue ones instead of the yellow yacky ones?

Mod, I would stop this thread before it turns into WWlll again. The last one on the subject of DRL's got pretty ugly.

To answer your question, no you can not DIY. You will need to find a lexus dealership that will do it for you.

just called my dealer and they said they would do it if my car was capable of it. the 07 DRL's are just like 06's and are able to be turned off correct?

You prob have to know someone (guys that take your keys and move your car) at longo, in order for them to do this. I got to know a guy at longo El monte and asked if he could turn them of. He did it for me, no questions asked.

It doesn't matter what type of bulb you put in there, the DRL will always look yellow because the bulb is operating at 25% of the high beam power. Every single one of these questions has been covered ad nauseum and can easily be found by doing a search.

Just another case of someone being lazy and not willing to search the threads. As mentioned this has been covered already to the max.

Many opinions on both sides. Me? I prefer them on and think they look just fine. Why would anyone think blue is cooler than yellow? And No, I don't think yellow is cool either. In fact I don't care period.

Lets move on.......pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeese?:cry:

My salesman said no dice so I slipped a Dominos free pizza card to the tech and they were turned off:thumbup:

Yep, that's one of the ways to get them to turn the DRL's off. Feed them by mouth or feed their wallet. It almost always works.
