Daytime running lights???
Friday, September 02, 2005 10:09 AM
How do i turn my day time running lights into just headlights when i turn the switch. Reason being i want to be able to drive with just the parking lights on and not the headlights. If anyone knows of any websites with directions that would be great. Thanks

I have a 2K cavalier and if you pull the ebrake up 1 it dings in the door speaker. plus why not just disable it and never have to worry about a dash light or ebrake light or nuthin.

heres two real fast.


**OR**

There are 2 options, the first is the time tested way as described below. The other can be read/researched here

Taken from lightsout.org

This is a 2 part process. May require some special equipment and/or electrical knowledge.

Part 1

Behind the front bumper, in front of the radiator should be a relay. Remove plug from the relay. IMPORTANT: Jumper wires #80 and #87a (if uncertain which wire is which, stop now, plug relay back in and please do some research on relays). Temporary method is to attatch a jumper wire to the plug and electrical tape it to prevent water leaking in. Permanent method, cut these two wires at the plug and splice them together. Don't forget heat-shrink. I wrapped the rest seperately and removed the plug/relay all together. Failure to splice these 2 wires together will result in the passenger headlight not working properly.

Once completed, start car, release e-brake (if automatic tranny: and remove from park [reverse should work]) DRL indicator on dash should flash. If successful, move on to part 2.

Part 2

1) Remove the dash and instument cluster. A shop manual may be needed for this task, if one is not readily available, instructions can be located here.

2) Once instrument cluster is removed, CAREFULLY remove the plastic housing on the rear of the panel. Take caution not to damage the circuit board or you are out to find another instrument panel ($80-175).

3) Once the gauges are free from the circuit board, look at the back of the gauges where the idiot light filters are. Cover the DRL light (the green one) with black electrical tape. If you were like me and found the shift light annoying, go ahead and cover that one too.

4) Reassemble instrument panel and reassemble dash.

If done correctly, you should not see a green blinking light while engine is running and e-brake released (if automatic tranny: and out of park) and no more DRL's
