Just some extra info.....most US NBs do not have a working TLF connector so you will most likely have to do the 173 relay way. I did this years ago and have had 0 problems.

Let me know if you need help with this mod. :cool:

Does anyone know where in Houston I can get my Euro Switch installed (to disable DRLs) if I do not want to do it myself?

If you have the euro switch already I can install it and do the relay mod for you. It should only take 10-20 mins to do.

Just so you know the euro switch is so that when you do the relay mod you can turn on the marker(parking) lights on without the headlights, the euro switch alone will not disable the DRLs.

I am in the Pearland but don't mind driving to other parts of Houston.

Hit the ebrake with your car running (in park) and check to see if the lights go out.
There may be a switch that can be bypassed.

But the car may then think the ebrake is on and the brake light will stay on and the car will ding at you.

My wife finally decided that she wants to have them disabled. I live in SW Houston and would be happy to drive to meet you and bring your favorite case of beer. My cell number is 713-825-7485.
