Trouble turning DRLs back on

The guy who I bought my car from disabled the DRLs on my '06 STI, and I figured it'd be a good safety feature to have enabled, so I reconnected the plug behind the glove box... except that doesn't appear to have had any impact on the functionality of my DRLs. Is there some other plug or switch somewhere that needs to be reconnected/turned on?

There is also a module under the hood near the BCS. Search for disabling the DRL's and you should see that method. Just work backwards from that.

EDIT - here's the link. This module is on the left side above the airbox. https://www.i-club.com/forums/showth...ht=disable+DRL

The STi won't have the resistor module because it has HID's. The dropping resistor is used only for halogen lights, to run them at a lower voltage.
I don't know the exact procedure for the STi, but it's not the one you will usually see posted for the '02-'06 Imprezas.

Yeah, I looked and couldn't find the module under the hood.

Alright, I'm retarded; reconnecting the plug did work, it's just that when I checked the lights I had my parking brake on, which shuts off the DRLs.
