1996-1999 Pontiac Bonneville - You must pull the electrical connection from the DRL resistor. The resistor is found on the driver'* front side of the engine bay. First, find the large black box which contains the computer. Next, pull the black box to the left so you can see the horn easier. Once you find the black horn, look to your right you will see a small white box thats bolted to the frame of the car. There will be a electrical connection on the back of the white box snap if off and your done. Once the connector is out of the white box you no longer have drls.

With HID'* in a 97, you can retain the DRL'* and not burn them out if you'd like. This is done by removing the resistor, cutting the wires at the resistor and setting the resistor aside. Now solder the two wires on the connector together. This bypasses the resistance and gives you 100% power to the DRL function.
