disconnecting daytime running lights

Hello,

Has anyone diconnected their daytime running lights and know where the box is located on the 00-03 Legacys?

Just installed an HID kit and don't want to use it more than I have to.

Thanks,
Zara

Thanks svrex, I found that post when I did a search but I had the same luck with disconnecting the white controller box: all my headlights went out. I was hoping someone on this forum had actually done this successfully while keeping their brake light from staying on all the time. Oh, well. Trying to get the dealership to let me look at their schematic manual....

Mind if I ask why you want to disconnect the daytime running lights? I like the automatic shutoff, faux daytime running light, feature of my '98 GT. I use them all the time.
Just curious.

The bulbs cost $200. Plus the tech guy at Catz didn't think it would be a great idea to run them at half power all the time and suggested disabling them if possible.

Yeah the scooby mod works on the dual bulb GT headlamps, but not on the L single bulb headlamps... I have yet taken the time to find what wire sends the signal and can be 'sniped'

quality HID bulb is rated to have a lifetime of 3000hrs... even if you drives your car for 3hrs/day... you still don't need to worry about replacement for 3years... also, unlike halogen, turning on/off often wouldn't hurt the bulb.

PS.. I did disable the DRL but it was easy.. just unplug the socket right in front of passenger strut tower on my 97.
