      I still haven't done it yet. I think our DRL's pull 45 watts and regular low beams pull 55 watts. I upgraded to HIDs which pull only 35 watts so when my DRLs engage it's no different from my lowbeams. I'm not gonna worry about disconnecting them, replacement bulbs for my HIDs are like 14 bucks.

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.
      That's the purpose of DRL... some illumination during daylight so as to be better seen, not to see better. To preserve your expensive lamps, I'd install some fog lamps and run a circuit to those. Or, install some bulbs in the headlamp specifically for DRL. I'm certain with some creative thought, a solution can be found.

      Like I said I'm not worried about it. It's not doing any harm, it'll just wear out my bulbs faster but they're like 14 bucks for replacement HIDs where I got them. I need to swap my bulbs to 8000K this winter anyways.

      I bought mine from vvme.com. They were cheap, like 70 or 80 bucks I think for my lows and highs. They work great too.

      Haha, I just went and tried that fuse on the side of the dash and it works. Wow, that was worth the 10 seconds it took lol. I thought I had to crwal under the dash and look for a DRL relay to unplug that's why I've been so lazy about doing it this summer.
