Honda Car Forum

I just bought my car the other day and I cannot stand my day running lights already. I asked my salesman if I can turn them off, he said no, but that is definitely a lie. Does anyone know how? Or do I have to bring the car to the service guys?It's a law in other countries, but not the US. And I don't want them because there really isn't a need for them. It's sunny during the day when they're on, they're pointless. My family just bought 3 new cars and mine is the only one with DRL. So I was just curious.

unsure on a honda, but on dodge you can go into cust preferences and turn them on/off. we turned them on for a cust here....

Runing lights are required by law in most areas so no, you cannot turn them off (or if you do you may end up paying for it). Running lights serve to increase visibility and therefore reduce accidents. As such they may help to reduce your insurance rates and keep you safe. You did not say why you do not want them so maybe you can post addtiional information to clarify this.

On my civic 2007 it is fuse #37. I just removed it and DRL are off now. This way it keep the lights life longer and also make more sense not them have it on in the bright sunny days look stupid.For accords look in the manual where electric schema is and find the fuse for DRL and remove it thats all.

That's like asking "How can I turn off my anti-lock brakes" or "I hate that 3rd brake light" or "My airbag is ugly, how can I get rid of it."Even on a bright sunny day DRLs help differentiate your car from the cars in front and behind you at a distance. Just look a mile or two down the road on a clear day, guess which cars are noticeable? The ones with DRLs. Also, they help people see your car with their peripheral vision. Considering that people are talking on their cell phones, eating, drinking, listening to thumping music and watching movies in their cars, don't you want your car to be MORE visible to others, rather than less?Just my opinion.
