Theres a big write up in electronics on the how to's. FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS. It is listed step by step how to do it. Sounds real easy. I'm going to do it the light switch way by cutting the orange wire. I haven't read the post in a while but gonna do it this week.

I see you only have one post. Where are you located. I didn't see if you introduced yourself on introduction page. Welcome, Where are you located.

pop the dash pad off and locate the 2 wires that go to the light sensor (located near the security light) and cut the 2 wires. I taped mine with electrical tape so they wouldn't come into contact with each other. Another option is to use a Scotch lock. 2 second job.

Wrong Section. And there is a write up here somewhere. Look up DRL.

Pry up the dashboard cover (doesn't take much pressure, just ease under it). Right in the center where your flashing LED for the alarm system is, there is a photo-sensor. Disconnect it, and put any old strip of wire across the pigtail going back into the dash. That'll give it the continuity and the vehicle will think it is bright out all the time. Button the dash back up, and try to remember to turn on your headlights in the evening and at night so you're not one of "those" guys
