    search for that, theres a bunch of threads that cover it. drl module in the dash needs to get unplugged and a fuse needed to be pulled.

    Backinblackgp.com has a way, I used it. You replace the photocell in the middle of the dash, next to the security light. With a 470 ohm resister.

    Pulling the heat sink will disable the drls, and the resister disables the auto head lights, at least that's the set up I have on my 02 GTP

    On my car, which is a 2000 GTP, all I did was pull the DRL fuse and it disabled both the DRLs and the Auto In feature. I've heard that some will still chime, mine didnt, haven't had any probs.

    Not really, you just need a certain resistance to mimic daytime.

    What year do you have?

    And get the photocell and measure the resistance when in the dark and that's the resistance you need in place of the resistor. I don't know why the one you used didn't work.
