i dont understand one word of that, but the last part.

On an X with HIDs, just take out the DRL bulb. No warning lights, etc.

On a non-hid, pull the DRL relay. Look it up in your service manual to find it.

Got more info on this? On my non-HID X there's a spot for a DRL relay but it's not there.

but that traffic stop might give him a reason for "probable cause" to look for more issues.

remove factory headlight relay from the main fuse box.

install a regular relay triggered by power to the parking lights.
