What did I pull then? Haha... I'm gonna look back in my fusebox cause I THOUGHT it said DRL on the fusebox cover.

Weird, it's not shown in the diagram. I wonder what (if anything) it is being used for.

you guys really don't like the DRL?? thats one thing I love about the BRZ...

We are talking about the FR-S in this topic. You BRZ guys got the cool LED DRLs, but we are stuck with the high-beam at half-power which is just an annoying yellow-ish light.

Well, I pulled it and it didn't turn off the DRLs, so I have no idea!

Jimbo 06-06-2012 02:22 AM

That's the "Drool" fuse.

DarrenDriven 06-06-2012 02:23 AM

Well, nobody stopped drooling when I pulled it out, either. Hehe.

So if one was to import and swap in the GT86 HID headlamps to the FR-S, would the LED strip on the top operate as the DRL or would you still get the half power high beams?

:D

So, I pulled my DRL relay last night and - guess what - I no longer have high beams! Pulling the relay is NOT the way to do this! I hadn't seen Jeff Lange's post yet.

^ that sucks. Well I never use my highbeams so here is to hoping it wont be an issue for me until I get un-lazy enough to do it the right way.

if you remove the DRL fuse from the engine bay the high beam lights wont work.

I hate DRL's

Makes it unsafe for motorcyclists.

A driver see's the light ignores it and still pulls out in front of you as they think your a car moving a a slower speed.

It was good for motorcyclist as then drivers knew it was a bike and took more precautionary measures. Now it means nothing.

Your dealership can shut the DRL's off for you. All they need to do is hook up their tech stream computer. It's under the customizable features. I had my "Car locater" feature turned on today and the tech asked if I wanted the DRL's shut off.

I have a feeling the hard part is going to be finding a dealership that would be willing to do it for you.
