Disable DRLs (Possible Fix)
Disable DRLs (Possible Fix)
Okay so i was reviewing other sources on howto disable the DRLs on our cars... i came across a post for Disabling them on 06+ Galants and Eclipses.
"Ok. Here's a pic of the pin you need to bend (or remove) to disable Daytime Running Lights on Galants and Eclipses.

This module (known as the Front ECU Module) is under the hood, inside the fuse box, on the driver side. If you're not sure, look in the manual. Remove the Front ECU, and open it carefully using a flat screwdriver. You can "pop" the white snaps on the black metal part (it's a chip cooler) to completely access the pins, and remove the bottom cover (black plastic). Bend the second last (or 1st) of the SMALL pin connector. Re-assemble, and voila!"
I am not sure whether or not we have the same "Front ECU Module" or whatnot and i am not able to take a look at the moment. But this has worked on 2008 eclipses also... We may have the same oppertunity. It may be worth a try to take this information for what it is and try a few new things.

and yeah...I don't feel so good about breaking off something that can't be repaired if need be. Thanks though

its just a thought, i figured i would put it out there for anyone who may want to try and find out if it works.. Like i said im not even sure if we have a "Front ECU" like that in our cars.. Im going to take a look at it tomorrow hopefully and see what i can find.
