Running lights allways on

All second generation RXs with USA specs have running lights...and no you can't turn them off. The newer lexus' do have the option of turning them off and that might be why you have seen some with the running lights off. If you want to turn yours off you will need to replace the 5 pin running light relay under the hood with a 4 pin relay so that the running lights will not activate. Or you can cut the ground wire at the running light relay. There are directions on the forums on how to deactivate them. I wouldn't do this though as I personally think running lights are great...And now that so many cars come standard with running lights, I often don't even notice a car without lights on. From a distance it just looks like it is parked on the side of the street to me.

BTW, I am wondering if this is the appropriate 4-pin relay:

To turn them off by changing the relay, you just use a standard 4 pin relay.

Off-hand I don't think there are many other RX's in Angola, the cops therefore don't make a connection between the make of car and the lights being on. Dignitaries in Africa just love motorcades, mostly escorted by sunglassed gentlemen in black SUV's with blazing headlights. I can just imagine how the ordinary patrolman stresses up if he sees Eliaquim heading his way, with no apparent motorcade in trail.
