dont know if this will work on yours, but on my moms 98 sunfire, and my buddies 98 chevy fullsize, you can turn off the daytime running lights by clicking down the emergency brake one click. go only one click and there wont be any drag so it drives normal, but you gget the annoying *** light on the dash. hope this works

Thanks for the help i'll have to try it out tommorow. Does any1 know if there is a way to turn the automatic head lights off, or does turning the daytime running lights off turn the automatic headlights off?

the manual says it'* an option.
and actually it'* designed to sense whether to turn the lights on.

Well not to be a smart *** but i don't live in canada therefore yeah maybe its cut down on your accidents but in america its not mandatory which is why i don't want them on when i drive. So if any1 has anyother idea'* on how to turn the day time running lights off or the automatic headlights i would appericate a suggestion. SSEIMike thanks for the suggestiong but unfortunatly it didn't work, i'm going to try and use speedyguy'* suggestion.

i don't understand why you want them off. you're going to go out of your way to mangle the car'* electronics to turn off something you'll never even realize is there in the first place, to gain nothing ... sorry, just don't see the reasoning, unless it'* unwillingness to accept something new.

Anyone have a radar detector that detects those dam radar planes?

Aircraft do not use radar! A stopwatch and a few marks on the highway are used. You pass the marks before the time runs out and your caught! Distance * time = ticket.

The easiest way to stop your DRL'* from coming on is to just disconnect them altogether. Just pull the plug out from behind the actual light. Takes a couple of seconds and u can change it back just as easily, but since u have disconnected that bulb u also won't have highbeams anymore so it'* a tradeoff. L8r...Andru.
