    So I've been doing some research and alot of reading on backinblack's lighting page but I'm still pretty confused. Is there a way to disable my drl's but still retain the auto headlight function?

    Just to clarify:

    Unplugging the DRL diode disables the DRL circuit for all 1997 - 2003 models.
    Replacing the photoresistor disables the auto lights for all 1997 - 2003 models.
    Pulling the DRL FUSE disables BOTH, but only for the 1997 - 2001 models.
    The GPs are long gone...

    Icic so then if I unplug the plug on the drivers side etc then that should accomplish what I'm looking for?

    I knew one of them did not work because it would just cause a relay to go crazt
