How to disable DRL's?????

Greetings!!!!!!!!
As of this afternoon I am officially the proud owner of a brand new silver/blk w/roof CTS-V! I pick her up first thing in the morning, and I cannot wait!!!!!
My question: does anyone know how to disable those hideous, orange day-time running lights? I have seen the link with the instructions on how to remove the little box underneath the drivers dash and clipping a wire to kill the DRLs, but I was wondering if anyone has found a simpler way? For example, on my '00 Silverado, if you press the "dome override" button 4-times, it will turn off the DRLs
Thanks in advance for any insight.

Dreamin' does that fuse pull work as well, did you confirm this? No other adverse affects (fog light not work, etc)?
Check out the FAQ and send me your info for the registry..
Congrats!

Sorry for the confusing post... the fuse pull is for the Z06 only... I was agreeing with BowenCT that it's easy in other cars... there is no 'approach' fuse on the CTS.
For the CTS, cutting the wire is the only way, as far as I know.

I disabled mine by clipping the lead inside the module before it attaches to the curcuit board. This way I can solder a jumper wire over the break, put the cover back on the module and it will restore the DRLs without disturbing the wiring harness. I also considered running from either side of the break to a switch so I could disable/enable the DRLs at will but haven't done this yet.

Dont think there is an easier way on CTS than the wire cut.
BTW, Congrats on the car!!

Oh duh! Thanks, that makes a lot of sense... I always thought that GM just referred to the DRL as "approach"... meaning you can see the car approaching you...
Anyway pulling this fuse (#2) deactived the yellow front DRL lights on my Z06 ('02), as it did on many other owners' Z06s: http://www.z06vette.com/forums/showthread.php?t=56133
It does have the side affect that the DRL lights and white reverse lights dont flash when unlocking the car w/fob. It did not affect the yellow front flashers.
If pulling the fuse does not turn off your Z06's front DRLs... that's new for '04...

Did this last night with the help of the FAQ link and it worked great! I wished my hands were smaller geez no fun squeezing in there upside down either ...
