      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.
      You can not commit crimes in a Aveo. Its just not fast enough.

      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
