damn lexmex in the picture you make it look so hard to disable the DRL..

Lexmex

I tell you what, I will take some more photos tonight of the plug and the connector with the tape off. I used to have some photos that were shots from underneath, but they don't quite show the area as well.

thanks lex .... yea for somereason my DRL doesnt work anymore ... after installing 6000k hid for my headlight and 3000k for my fogs. i think i blown a fuse for the drl

Lexmex

Okay I got a bunch of pictures.

I took the tape off and this is the plug with the wire attached to it (as you would see in your own RX300).

Lexmex

Here is shot with the wire off of the plug.

And here is another shot in the same locale.

One more shot further back with the wire on the plug,

Lexmex

Now that wire you pull out of the plug, this is it.

Lexmex

Now, the trick is to reach underneath like so and with your pointer finger push the latch underneath the plug that I will show in the next photo.

Lexmex

Now see the the little latch on top, that is what you have to push in. I actually did the first time with my thumb as it was a little tough. This latch faces downward when plugged in.

Lexmex

Another view.

Thanks Lexmex for the explanation and for the pictures as well, however, this way is not applicable for all vehicles, I have a GS300, year 2000 and I haven't seen such connection.

i did this mod super easy just the connecter was a bit of a pain to get off gotta pull hard. i used to have only my fogs on and my headlights on when ever i wanted them on. all i did was switch the fog and low beam connecters. they are both 9006. so now you fog light on/off ring switch thing controls your headlights. its as easy as that.

I unplugged the fuse (7.5 amp) in the small fuse box under the hood in my RX 300. Owners manual says DRL system, but the lights came on when I started the car. Don't see why the lights still came on, but guess I'll just have to disconnect the plug.

are the high beams affected by this at all? will they still work like normal?
