[QUOTE="Peter V, post: 1017821, member: 72015"] Yes, I am from the States...the issue with the DRL is, it's controlled by the Smart Box Junction (SBJ) At least here in the States, when you examine the H13 bulb, there are three wires. 2 of which are "hot" and the third is ground. Each hot powers the respective low/high beam. The lows act as the DRL by having the SBJ reduce power to it, thus making it appear to be a DRL. Once you turn the headlights on, this reduced power is now at full strength so you have full low beam power. That's the issue...you simply CANNOT disable or remove some type of wire. The power to the DRL is also the power to the low beam. Cutting it out when no low beam. I hope I am making myself clear. BTW, I have a Gen2. [/QUOTE]
