Default Disable daytime lights?

I searched and was shocked I couldn't find how to do it on SC's. So before I go tracing wires, anyone know an easy way to disable the daytime lights that always come on 98+ SC's?

Removing the bulb would mean I'd have no more high beams. I just want to cut the signal that turns them on when you turn your lights off. In other Lexus/Toyotas its modifying a relay. Someone must have done it on here

Found this link, post 16 the member mentions the fuse box and a slot indicated for the DRL's. I'm not sure if this fuse only operates/controls the DRL when taken out, but it worth a shot at an easy fix.

Ya I noticed that earlier when I was looking at the fuse box. It doesn't seem to do anything. I tried putting a fuse in it but there on still. I just unplugged the pass side high beam for now. I'll trace it maybe tomorrow to find where the signal goes and cut it and re-post the result if no one else has an answer by then.
