Celica Forums General Discussion General Turn Off Lights

does any1 know how to turn off the drl's or the auto lights at night

I CAN'T SNEAK UP ON PPL
but i love the auto lights

If you want to disable them for good there is an explaination on how to do it in the Tech Info area.

i really like the auto lights because i am lasy but i do want to be ale to turn them off while driving. you kno in case of the cops on my assi could turn them off and give them a run.

^ ya...they should make it so we can turn it off...
some cars (in tw) have auto on feature, and you can turn that feature off by pressing a button for serveral secs then it turns the feature off...

i really hope toyota'd include that feature.

I imagine you could also add a switch so that instead of permanently disabling them you could deactivate it whenever you want.

Other than tampering with the circuit, you could leave the e-brake engaged (just one click, so it doesn't actually interfere with your ability to drive). If you start the car with the e-brake engaged, the lights don't come on automatically until you release the e-brake.

ANYONE PLEASE if i disable my DRL will the auto lights stop working?

yeah, they won't work anymore sorry. I did mine and I like it a lot better!!!

You will have to manually turn your lights on & off. I like it better. You can drive with only your parking lights on this way.(or all lights off)

I tried to mount a switch and it didnt seem to work. I wired it straight from those yellow wires you cut. If you dont like it you can always connect them back together.

Hey Spyder, it's only 1 wire you cut!!!
I think it's yellow/green

does this work with 2003? anyone?

Sure why not? It's a yellow wire with a green stripe. I think there's also a yellow wire with a blue stripe. Don't get them confused! It's a very simple mod

icic~ where it's placed? ive seen it somewhere in [email]ecelica..@@[/email] lazy to check...

Go to the Installs forum & scroll down to "Lights,Disable DRL" I can actually see the wire in the pic! Thanks to Isaac!

yea its only 1 wire

thx for da help guys~

U got it!

isnt there a way for me to turn off the drl's w/o turning off the auto ones ?

If you turn on your regular headlights, the DRL's are already off!
