I am at the dealer as we speak.... i asked the service dept to disable my DRLs and they said NO because its a safety issue. He claimed that people come here all the time for that but they can't do it. I told him he was crazy because DRLs are not mandatory in the US. They still refused to do it.
WTF!!!

Find another dealer who is not so concerned about exposing his business to the possibility of a lawsuit. I can sympathize with the dealer, there are just too many ambulance chasing lawyers out there.

i think the best way to do it is when you get your lps settings set. they already have their computer attached to your car so it'll only take em a few seconds to go into the drl menu to disable it. and always ask the tech that's working on your car to do it, rather than the service advisor.

News flash !!!! The dealer doesn't have to cater to your request, whether it is legal or not. It is his call. Just as he doesn't have to paint your car orange if you so request, he doesn't have to turn off the DRL's if you ask. Unfortunately we live in a sue happy country, so who needs the hassle of getting your business sued by someone who gets hit by a Lexus where the DRL's were adjusted from the recommended Lexus setting?

i agree with this........ it opens them up to litigation if you get hit, or something else related goes wrong.

well as i was getting in my car to leave, he came up to me and gave me his card. he told me to call him and to come in on a day that's not too busy. He said he'd do it for me. i HONESTLY thought that the drl disable option was part of the LPS that they do. ohh well.

No it isn't. DRLs are not required by law. SRS is, and disabling it is quite illegal without jumping through a bunch of hoops. Completely different issues. The dealer saying "We won't do it" has no legal grounds to refuse. It's their preference, period.
