I've been looking for a way to shut the DRL's off during the day or just have control of them for that matter....for my safety they say... I wonder if this mod plus a switch would do the trick???

Alright so I'm doing this today and I don't want to cut the wires. Are the little white prongs where the cable is in the connector where I need to insert a flat head to get them out? It looks like or do I need to take off a section of the white connector to get to where I can release the two wires?

All done! The hardest part was getting the wires out of the main connector!

My bad, saw your posts late. Yeah, that was the hardest part. But worth it if you don't want to cut wires.

is there only ONE fuse in the IPDM responsible for BOTH running lights? or do the drivers side and passenger side have individual fuses?

if there are two fuses.. I may have blown one.

right now only my drivers side running lights come on
