Has anyone in US disabled DRLs before on an 06 Accord Sedan?

I've read that fuse #3 from the interior box (10 amp fuse) can just be
pulled to disable DRLs. However, this does apparently cause a DRL
circuit warning light to display but the warning light goes off when
headlights are on.

Another way I've read is that there's a molex connector that can be
unplugged from a wiring harness that will disable DRLs. However, the
poster didn't give any specific info on where the harness was or what
connector it was. Anyone have any ideas on this?

I don't know if the second method would also cause the warning light
to light up or not?

Anyone know?

Thanks

You may wish to ask your dealer if there is a TSB for DRL disablement.
Toyota has such a TSB, which was issued to address the considerable
unpopularity of DRLs in the US. Many Canadians dislike them as well, but
somehow have got the idea that they are mandated by law, which in at least
some provinces thay are not.

Unfortunately tegger.com has nothing on DRL disable. If you end up with a
copy of any relevant TSB, it would be nice to get a copy of it...

For much older Hondas (early '90s), DRL disable may be effected by simply
pulling the DRL fuse, or by disconnecting the DRL resistor. This will also
have the benefit of making your clock normal daytime brightness again.

What's a DRL?

Just curious, why the dislike of DRL's? I can see disliking the back
lit display when the lights are off, but I don't know why anyone would
care one way or another about the DRL's.

Headlights on when engine on.

Ah, thanks. I actually like that feature. Wish my car did it. Motorcycles
have been required for years to have the headlights on when the engine is
running. Studies show that people are far less likely to pull out in front
of them than when the lights were off.

I supposed I could wire it up...

Why disable them? Do you know more that all the safety studies? If
so, please report your statistics. I'm sure then that the insurance
industry will beat a path to your door to hire you.

And if it's an attempt to look "cool"...give it up. But then again,
you can disable your DRLs, don't fasten the seatbelt, and light up a
cigarette to celebrate the fact that you're right!

============================

Take a google at HAMSAR relay Daytime Running Light kits. There's a few
excellent web sites that feature installations on Honda S2000, etc.
