Disable Day-Time Running Lights?
Does anyone know how to disable daytime running light. I have an 09' Aveo hatch and I just got 12000K HIDs for it and I dont want to burn them out, because they're on all the time. I live in Alaska and we are moving into the time of year where her shortly we will be in 24hour daylight for the next several months, so I have no need for daytime running light in the sun.

Do what I do. If you only have a single filament HID then during the day put the switch on to brights, that way no power is going to the bulbs.

I ordered the bi-level kit for highs and lows, so I can't just switch to highs lol. I'll look for the DIY and see if that works.

There is an easy way, which is the route I went. The handbrake on our cars disable them when it is engaged, by a little button in that assembly. Pull off the leather glove around the handbrake and you'll see the button with a wire attached to it with a clip. That wire is connected to the button and when pressed makes contact with the ground part of the car, so splice into that wire and put a switch on it and connect the otherside to a ground on the car. The handbrake light will stay on but I haven't noticed it distracting because it isn't overly bright.

here in nova scotia we have a law about DRL
cars equipped with DRL can't be de-activated
and cars without them must have their headlights on at all time

Your also not supposed to do 100's of other things to your car but who cares....besides the cops.
