Does anyone know how to disable the automatic function of these.

I like to turn on my own headlights and turn off my DRL's

I know you can do it everytime you start up, but it's becoming a real pain to do it that way.


Thanks!!

I know what you mean. I had the same problem. Let alone the heat from them being on destroys the clear lense after a while. I just took the bulbs out, cut the little wires on the back of the bulb off, put them back in. This way if I change my mind, all I have to do is buy two new bulbs. Hope this helps

Yes, go in the fuse box and take out the fuse for the DRL. It is sometimes combined with fog lights though.

I took out the DRL bulbs so that solves that problem. Couldn't find a fuse labeled as such.

My 98 was easy to do just by pulling the fuse.

Is there a fuse that controls the sensor that turns on your headlights automatically?

I can't stand this feature!

Thanks!

I think with your engine off you press the dome overide button 3 times in and out and the truck will make a ding noise and that disables the lights from turning on.

I know, I found out last night on mine. I went to the drive in and had to turn the switch everytime I turned the truck on to run the air because it was raining.
