Day time running lights

| I am trying to somehow turn off the operation of my day time lamps.
One way i think i can take them off is to take out the fuse. Is this
smart, will it effect anyhting else or is it safe? or is there another
way to go about this?
Thanks alot for the help.

Why do you want to bother doing that? The benefits are greater than the
costs and you have already paid for them. I wish more manufacturers would
also have tail lights included with the daylight running headlights. VW had
the right idea with the 94 Jetta in which normal low beams and tail lights
were used - no noticable loss of lamp life and actually a convenience. They
have apparently changed this - among other good ideas that they dropped.

There is probably a relay involved that can be interrupted with a switch.
More often than not, there is a tray full of these under the hood, and they
are usually fairly well labeled. Make sure you interrupt the relay coil, and
not the light circuit, since this will be much easier on your components.

| On my '95 ciera there was a switch behind the e-brake pedal. I think I just
jumpered it out with a piece of wire.

That will result in the brake light on the dash being on all the time.
Best to live with it. Why bother?

Try pushing the park/emergency brake one notch. That will shutoff
the DRLs on some vehicles. I know this as I accidently did that while
working on a GMC pickup. It will also light up the dash brake warning
light.
