Daytime running lights

[Jobst 10+ year member]

I own a chevy camaro 2011 and i want the DRLs off, i hate them so much, and yes i'm aware they're there for safety but i dont care. My friend has a trailblazer ss and he found a module that kills the DRLs without taking them out, and i was wondering if anyone knew about one for a camaro. Thanks for the help in advance.

They just annoy me, i see no point to them. I want them dead. (I only say dead because my friend referred to the module as a DRL killer)

Why not just take the blubs out?

Why not pull the DRL fuse or just pull the bulb out instead of wasting money on a module? Are the DRL bulbs used for anything else, such as parking lights, or are they independent of other lighting systems?

had to pull a relay in my malibu to turn the dlr feature off...not sure which one it would be in a camaro though. Also, if you start pulling wires or relays your check engine/service vehicle light will most likely come on; not sure if this will void your warranty or not.

All you need to do is pull the fuse for DRL's. Most cars use their headlights at a lower wattage for the DRL's.

Or you could remove the DRL relay if it's not tucked within a computer. My car has separate bulbs for DRL but my car is older. You should leave it alone if you have factory HIDs though.

Your headlight has 5 wires(3 for headlight and 2 for turn signal) so the headlight is a dual-filament bulb. I think one filament is for high-beam and the other is for DRL/low beam so cutting wires is not going to kill the DRLs unless the filament is separate for the DRL.
