How to disable DRLs (Daytime Running Lights) on 2004 Tacoma?

With the 2015 you can turn them off or leave them on, but i really dont understand why people dont want them i think they look pretty cool.

 

I'm a old fart, I want people to see me comin.

 

that's weird???? why have a fuse for it then if the fuse doesn't give power to it???????????

well at least now I know that Toyota tech was wrong about the fuse

my limited understanding of how they work on first gens is, they use a resistor to drop the voltage and send something like 7 volts to the low beams to illuminate them without shining a strong intense beam instead of the normal 12v and that's the way they create daytime driving lights. but this was told to me from that same tech that said pulling the 7 amp fuse would disable it

as for having them, I kinda like it and more safety is never a bad thing in my book

 

Did this mod years ago, super easy. Here's a link with diagrams: http://www.yotatech.com/f2/tacoma-drl-mod-difinitive-solution-please-sticky-move-tech-133454/

Just make sure you cut (and wrap appropriately) the #1 wire on that harness plug and kerblam! No more DRL, with no ill effects.

 

I tried the same thing... fuse out they still work?
