You could do it two ways.

1. "Under the hood" Style, but I dont now the wires to disable the DRL's.

or

2." Under/Behind the Glove Compartment" style. This is the way I did mines!.

-Just take out your glove compartement box and on the right side behind some metals is a small black box on theres a label on the bottom I believe that says" DRL module" or something to that nature.Theres a 10mm bolt that holds it up, so just unscrew it and unplug it. Than Voila, your done..What I did after unplugging it was put a inch and a half eletrical tape to cover the harness.Dont know if it will do anything but I know Electrical tape is fire proof. LOL:twitch:

Hope this helps.

theres a box under your hood.. I think theres a sticker that says Caution High Temp.... there's a Plug there.. unplug it and you should be alright...

but if you read my last thread.. you may think twice before taking advice from me.. lol..

#2 is the best bet.

#1 is a PITA unless you're Mr. Fantastic

scoobymods.com has a writeup too if you have a hard time finding the relay under your glovebox.

I had no problems doing the under the hood method. Some people say it doesn't work, but, um, it worked

seriously this has been covered numerous times...

the under the hood method as stated above is only removing the DRL resister (or whatever it's called) the module behind the glove box is the unit that powers the DRL. I did both since it doesn't make sense to remove something but you only do it half way right?

if you were to do either they would disable the DRL but for me a complete removal was better
