Question Daytime Running Lights

I just picked up an 06 about a month ago and been tryin to figure out how to get rid of the daytime running lamps. Im sure everyone knows how they jack the lens after runnin all the time (looks like it gets dust in it or somethin weird) course it hasnt happened yet, but Id rather get it taken care of sooner than later. Thanks!

The US version has DRL's now? Huh. Easiest way would be to just take the DRL bulbs out, they're in the upper corner of each housing.

There's gotta be a relay for the DRLs somewhere. Check in the fuse/relay box just behind the battery. The relays for the fogs and headlights are in there, so the DRLs should be, too.

Those are the parklamps, not the DRL's. The DRL's are your normal lights, but they are very dim. I have changed my parklamps to blue. The only time they are turned on is when the light switch is turned one click or two clicks (all the way) on. DRL's on our RA's our pretty much impossible to change from what I gather. They are built into the main module . Different from the older versions of lancers, which had a seperate module for DRL's that you could just pop out.

194 does sound right, they are the same as the licence plate bulbs and the sidemarker lights. Check on sylvanias site.

well i know the sidemarker lights are 194's therefore if they're the same then that must be right. I think i might change mine to blue tonight as well.. that'd be tight
