The title of the thread is DRL Delete so this is should be considered a permanent cancellation of the DRL.

The DRL system operates the high beams at a lower voltage via a resistor.
The system has a DRL Relay which changes the path to ground for the high beam bulbs.
In a static state the ground is through the resistor. Then when high beam operation is requested it changes to a direct path to ground.

Removing the resistor eliminates the path to ground for the high beam bulbs to run at a DRL power level.
