Default Daytime Running Lights...

I, for one, HATE them on the H3. They are waaaay too big and waaaaay too bright and I always turn them off. Does anyone have a wiring diagram or a way to disable them to NOT come on by default?

I don't hate them..But I wish I had a choice if I wanted the auto feature ON or not as a default...I think the only way, would to be replace the switch for one that stays in the OFF position and not spring back to AUTO.

if you find the +12volt wire going to the lights cut it and run both wires to a toggle switch, one wire to one leg of the switch, other wire to the other leg, then you have total control with the new switch.

Aren't those the turn signal lights? Or is there another bulb for the running lights.

my bad, I read running lights and for reason I thought you meant the overhead amber clearance lights....oops.

on my h3 my regular headlight bulbs come on as DRL's, kind of annoying and BAD ON BULBS!!! I made the mistake of going to a higher wattage yellow plasma bulb and after 2 months of bieng on whenver the dumb thing is in gear the entire headlight wiring harness/plug melted. I had to cut the wires and make a new one.

now I'm confused...when your truck is in gear in the middle of a sunny day, what lights come on? Don't your headlamps come on...or is my H3 "special"

Then at dark, the headlights come on..then if you drive into daylight the headlights goes off and just the amber running lights stay on..Unless you cancel the whole default program by turning the Switch to off monentarily.
