Disable DRL via Techstream
Anybody has done the disable DRL? My LED High Beam went kaput (1 of them) and decided to dump them since I do not have my high beam option and really need it for safety.
I have purchased the whitest Halogen I can for the high beams but still gives me the “orange” DRL. Somebody has suggested the WHITE Halogens but am not sure it gives me the high beam that I need, I bet it does not.
Hence I am looking to just disable the DRL’s. I currently use LED strips as my DRL which is more than sufficient for its use. This LED DRL is controlled by a wireless remote.
Thanks in advance.

I G’d this and found an answer that this is indeed an option on the setting.
I will hook up my Techstream tonight on the SC and see if I can get to this option.

Very nice write up Mandy, It's nice to see someone show a screenshot of the tech stream software, especially the area where you modify the settings in our cars.

The Techstream Software is well worth the $25 investment. Took me a while to load the program on my Vista laptop.
Now it works and I have used it to peruse over settings for all my Lexus and Toyota cars.
Flip of a switch!

StilLine I would have loved to put my DRL's where yours are but not feasible due to different design.
Next best location I found was in the grille.
Install pics for where I tapped for my Ignition switched power source (the old connection was always live and if I forget to switch it off via my remote, it will kill the battery).
With the remote I still have an option to switch it off, like at night.
