There is a DRL relay in the fuse box under the hood. Passenger side right behind the battery. Pull it out. Done. May need some needle nose pliers as space is extremely limited between the relays.

My very first mod done to the car 30 min after buying it

And that fuse only effects the DRL nothing else?

In addition, if you contact Chris White (GTPPrix on LS1GTO.com) he can do a number of custom things to your gauge cluster including turning off the cluster "DRL" reminder AND/OR can turn it off as a whole so you don't even have to remove the relay.

Thanks Lane! I'm also here in case you want to get in touch with me, I offer a myriad of cluster enhancements such as activating the factory shift light/buzzer ect. If you are interested in something like this, just PM me

Here's a link to pics of my cluster with other things he can do;
http://www.ls1gto.com/forums/showthread.php?t=18605

1) Enabled my tach light (not shown in any of these pics), so it triggers at 5,900 rpm which will then illuminate by the time I reach 6,200 as well as set the audible alarm and DIC messages to "Engine at Redline" "shift up".
2) Dimmed my "MPH" light (also not in these pics because I didn't have the ignition on)
3) Brightened my gauge dials, needles and info centers by 10%
4) Added the "HSV" logo to my start up menu/system check
5) With number 4 above, he was then able to customize my shutdown menu to show Lanes GTO 2004. Unfortunately apostrophies don't work and you can't order them "Lanes 2004 GTO" but it's still cool regardless.
