Big brown DRL fuse.

If I pull this fuse will it turn off my DRLs? I assume I'd lose my high beams as well if I did this? I did a search but didn't come up with any conclusive answers. And also, is it just as easy as plugging the fuse back in to turn the DRLs back on if I wanted to? Thanks in advance!

Right, I had found that and I might end up doing that, but I really just want to know if the fuse does the same thing or not and if its going to hurt anything
That thread kind of just turns into a dead end.

Do this DRL relay replacement with that relay from NAPA. Worked for me, 5 minute job. DRLs off, everything else works like original. Relay is $25, but it makes it easy to go back to stock, just swap it back out.

You can get a Mini VCM cable from Amazon cheaper than that and can turn your DRLs off the right way, fix seatbelt chimes, single stage unlock, etc. Just saying...

Yeah.... we're lucky here to have access to the mini VCM and TechStream software, so just do it as it's meant and turn them off in the customisation menu. Worse case, just ask the dealer to do it, can't believe it will cost anything much
