remove console trim

DRL module is a bit to the right, to remove it gently pull up and disengage it from its plastic mount.
I modded mine with 2 small toggles. One to control DRL and one for auto headlights. As far as I know, if you turrn off the DRL, it takes the auto headlights with it.
If you want pics of how to do it, let me know.

If you want control of it, instead of doing it like he described here "To disable the DRL module, solder a small wire between the A and B conductors of connector C2 on the back of the DRL module PC board." just extend some wires from these 2 points and attach a toggle switch. If you have auto lights, you can add a toggle switch to short the wires going to the light sensor. Doing so disables them. I mounted both of my switches in the ashtray area.

Verdad Gallardo OK, knowing that, you are going to lose the autoheadlight function if you wire up the DRL to a switch. You don't mind that, do you?
There is a way to keep the autoheadlights while losing the DRL's, but it requires a few relays and cutting into the wiring harness. A lot of work, too much if you ask me.
