Default Dealerships that are willing to disable DRL's?

I've called the dealership I got the car from and always took it to service, Longo Lexus, and they said they weren't willing to disable it for safety reasons.
Anyone in the Southern California area that got it disabled, which dealership did you go to?

Anyone? I know there hasn't been much talk recently of getting them disabled, but there has to be someplace willing to do it

If it's like any typical Toyota-made vehicle, It should be as simple as pulling a fuse...At least that's how it is for the Tundra and Corolla...

I got one dealership that can do it for $55.00.
For guys that already got it disabled. Is it really worth $55.00? This is the best price from the dealerships I talked to. I've lived with it for the past 2 years and I can continue living with the little orange glow, during sunlight, and I never see it anyway. haha

i doubt you will get it much lower then 55. most dealers will tell you it takes at least half hour of labor or more to do. in reality it take just a few minutes. i got mine done for a lot less. i think its worth it, since i have yet to see another 2IS with them off.
