Its not going to hurt your parking brake system because its only one notch up... all tha last notch is for is to trip the sensor turning on your headlights outside of your control.........

john, no offense man. but this is ghetto. from the g to tha tizzo, okay?
no one should have to do that.

i disabled it properly the first time by simply unpluging that gray connector in the engine bay, but for some odd reason it just started working again.

there you go, that's the one i'm talkin' about. where is that post??? something about you can unplug the relay system for the DRL's. i LOOOVE the twilight sensor turning on my lights, but i hate the DRL's...

UPDATE:

well, i figured it out since i'm the only one having this problem it seems. i simply plugged the gray connector in the engine bay, then i unplugged it. simple as that. now it's back to normal: no DRL's, twilight sensor still kickin' on my HID's at night!

yay for DIY...

ok so let me get this straight... i'm new to this (got this car 2 days ago). obviously these drl's must go. so if i unplug this wire no drl's but when night times comes around my twilight sensor will kick in and turn my lights on for me? also.. is there a way where i jus turn my fogs on if i'd like?

When I pull my e-brake up, my DRLs do not go off. Where is the wire for the e-brake tripping mechanism for the DRLs and could this have come unplugged? Or would that disable the DRLs? I know my S-10 DRLs were disabled with the parking brake and I wondered why the Solara (at least mine) did not.

i got mine done yesterday I had someone go underneath my steering wheel to the right if u take off the interior there is a DAytime running light relay it says it and also the DRL's are in with the ignition and the ebrake so they will have to do some re-wiring it takes like 20 minutes total i got my HID's put in last week and I needed to have this done So I did not blow my bulbs anyway thats what I did

I've got the grey connector unhooked for the day time and I've tried the little black thing on the inside of the window but I just can't seem to get it undone. I've seen how you press those two little side thingys but I can't get them at the same time. It's too cramped for me to do anything barely. Would it be alright if I just snipped the wires? If not can you all tell me another way I could get it unhooked besides going into the dash and tearing it all apart. Thanks

HAHA I just realized I said thingys. Sorry I couldn't think of another word for them.

Nevermind on telling another way if anyone even reads this. I fought with it enough that I finally got it disconnected.
