A much more elegant solution if your car is fitted with such a thing! Mine isn't.

Just checked my 96 850 T5 (had it for 10 years and didn't know this switch existed) This is a UK car and the switch is multi position, depending on the position different combinations of Head/side lights are on. So try the small switch clock and anti clockwise. Many thanks

DEALER has to disconnect the DRL's via Vida computer in 01's and newer

ok well..um..ok i know you guys are going to hastle me for this but....... why would you want to disconnect your daytime running lights?

Will you also disconnect other safety features on your car like the airbags?

This is not a discussion for WHY, it's a discussion how to.
The why's are personal opinions and decisions.

Hey i found a good site http://www.lightsout.org Association of drivers against drls!

I didnt realize it was such a significant topic, even the UK has its own group.
