Default DRL's

Does anyone know how to disable the drl's on the 99Tahoe's? The dome light thing did'nt work and did'nt see a fuse for them.

Yea that's a PIA each time though, I wanted a more long term approach. My dad's 97 GMC truck stay's off but he bought it that way.

Just replace them with amber bulbs... that's what I did. Looks much better IMO.

Or maybe take the bulbs out, find a way to break the filaments, then put 'em back in.

if you could find the relay for them then you could put an inline switch.

if amber is orange then you can not do that because on those trucks the running lights were in the head lights.

I don't think they were in 99.... 97 Yes, but not 99

Default Huh? Where is it?

Where is the 5 way micro diode located. Guy over on GM-TC has a problem with his DRL's and dome light's not working.
