So if you take the bulbs out what are you gonna use at night ? A flashlight ?
I am going to try the relay removing method on my 2000 today and see if it throws the SVS light. |

This is what I did to disable my DRL's and it works flawlessly. DRL's do not come on, auto lights work as advertised...I think my car looks prettier with just the amber parks lit up. I have an '03 tho, so I can't speak to the earlier models that have the DRL's reversed. I also did the same thing for my GF's G6, and my buddies crappy Saturn with no issues.

If you take out the bulbs of the day running lights, the headlights don't work anymore? So use your GD flashlight!

Reviving this to make sur eI understand completley.
00 2.4L where the DRL are the highs. Electrical tape over the 87 pin will not throw SVS code and will stop DRL's but allow auto headlight function. Yes?

even if you pull the relay it will still work ( but one high beam bulb won't work and will throw the svs code )
and its pin 87b that you want to cover

thanks will do tonight when I leave work. Does this work on just about every vehicle or just ours (obviously different relays and pins but the basic idea of it) because I sell HID's here in alaska and trying to sell them a DRL disable kit or telling them to just deal with the SVS code is kinda a pain in the ass. Much easier just to do this little mod.

not all vehicles will throw a code, each one is different for an example my buddy has a 2011 ranger and has a hid kit with the drl harness. he installed them originally in his 08 g5 and they worked fine no issue but now he is having issues in his 2011 ranger even with the harness
