Default Turn off day runners...IS 300

I know I have seen something about this before but I can't seem to find it. How can I turn off those yellow dim daylight runners on my 03 IS300?? Thanks in advance.....

umm..... i could be wrong, but i think when you open up the hood, you will see the two tower strut right? the pessenger side one, you will see the fuse box for the DRL (i believe). just diconnect that whole thing?

I want to disable my DRL's due to the ugly yellowish light that they give... I tried what you said romini, it worked...but no highbeams.... Looks great but is there another way???

Does anybody have a schematic on the day runners I would like to see it to find out if it can be rewired so they can run at full voltage???????

Default DRL's OFF

Can I follow the same procedure to turn off DRL's on my GS 400? Is the fuse box located in the same place?

Thanks,
