- In this video I show how to disable the daytime running lights. This is a follow up video to when I replaced the headlight bulbs with LEDs. You can find that video below, as well as a video on how to adjust the headlights. I hope this was helpful to anyone, please like and subscribe, thank you.

Instead of reaching down into the well, you can simply pop off the front panel that's at the bottom on the driver's side between left headlight and amber parking light. Simply use a panel remover. The panel is held by 2 notches.
bullet 1531 Ahhh ok. That would be easier for me and anyone with larger hands haha. I might have to pop that off just out of curiosity. Thanks man, I appreciate the insight.
@@kamalakeel Let us know how convenient that was? Trust me I have bear paws... 😎
I did it in the driveway while grilling steaks tonight. Piece of cake! 10mm socket and a ratchet, had to unhook the nylon wire clamp to get the clearance.
Now I can get into the campgrounds in the evenings without blinding the crap out of everyone!
Yeea, exactly haha. Glad it went smoothly for you.
Thanks brother!!! Just picked up my new FJ 2007, and I noticed this stupid feature as well?:?" No option to turn off on the switch!!! Awesome content bro! stay tuned my upgrades!!
This is great! I’m looking to possibly retrofit my headlights on my ‘14 this summer and this mod will make it so my actual DRLs will work (wired into the parking lights) without the actual headlights being on!
Checkout the video below this one before you start if you want to disable or tap into the daytime running light circuit behind the fuse box .. love these video though.. you guys rock!
I'm so happy I stumbled across this video. I have the bumper removed on my 2010 FJ because I'm building a winch bumper, and I was wondering what that module was. I'll probably splice in a switch so I can select DRL when desired, rather than disconnecting the module.
I’m glad this video helped out. Thanks for the comment. Yeea, I don’t have any choice which ads play. I actually had to google what exactly the difference between right wing and left wing because I care that little about politics haha. It only stresses me out and I just prefer to spend my time paying attention to things I enjoy. When it comes time for elections I just consult my family and they give the rundown.
I have been searching forever! Thank you
Done and done , thanks for the walk thru!
wow. ive been looking for this for years. it worked and was easy. get a ratchet though. screw was tight
With LEDs in the original housing, are you not just blinding oncoming traffic? I bought halo lights to replace my stock lights and they are terrible. Stock were better, and I cannot figure out how to wire the halo LEDs anyway (no instructions) now I know how to remove DRLs!
Hello
How are you pro
Do you know how to turn off the daytime running lights on a 2012 Dodge Journey?
Muchas gracias.tenia ese problema con las luces de día.hacen un excelente equipo.felicidades
Hi, Kamal, I have a landcruiser that has the same type of engine on your car. My question is, do you have any problem with that engine ? What about Gas consumption?
🙏 thanks.
If it's the dual VVT-i 4.0 liter used in the 2010+ FJ Cruisers (engine code 1GR-FE) then it's bullet proof. People have been running 300k+ miles on them with basic maintenance. Fuel consumption just depends on how the rig is set up and driven. I have a 2010 FJ Cruiser with 1" of lift (upgraded springs) and run 33's, I can hit around 21 mpg on the highway if I keep it under 65 mph. I see your comment was from 7 months ago, hope this helps...
@@chainlink4241 yeah, the answer is beneficial to me . Thanks bro.
The videos are great and you two look great together
Raymond Gilbert thanks for the comment. [=
Kamal Akeel absolutely, I was trying to find out what car I should save up for for my
Next vehicle, and your videos pretty much helped me decide that fj cruiser is an amazing car.
Raymond Gilbert Yeea, it’s been reliable since it’s a Toyota haha. It’s also surprisingly roomy inside. There’s a lot in the aftermarket for it too so you can do a lot to them. We mostly take ours on the beach. It’s nice because it doesn’t have carpets, it’s all plastic floor lining inside so cleaning out the sand is easy.
Can the DRL be disconnected and used instead for a LED strip on a pair of running lights/fog lights? If so, will it always be on when the Cruiser is running and not interfere with the headlights?
I haven’t seen that yet but you could probably wire something like that in. Yeea, the lights come on when you release the parking brake actually. So as long as that’s down the lights would be on.
Will turn off if you manually turn on the lights at night. That's how DLR works
Thanks!
Or slightly pull the hand brake every time you start the engine. It work too
Thank you for this! Way easier and simpler !
God bless you 🙏
What is the function of this DLR?
When you are running your original bulbs you have 3 different levels of brightness running lights low beams and high beams when you switch to the LED's it's just low and high
Dude, if you put to drive and start moving, DRL will still turn on.. Isn't?
No, it doesn’t turn on anymore, it’s actually the e-brake or parking brake that makes it turn on/off. Removing that module makes it so the lights only come on when you turn them on from the column.
@@kamalakeel 😎
لقد قمت بفصلها ولم يعد يعمل نهائي حتى من العمود ما المشكله قمت بي إرجاعها
What if you just remove the DRL fuse?
That would also work. Some people will also access the relay for the circuit. Others actually go through the trouble to wire in a switch. There's a lot of options when it comes to disabling these that I've found haha. For our FJ we knew we just wanted them disabled but removing the fuse might be the easiest option for someone who's unsure if they want to keep the car that way. Thanks for pointing that out, it's definitely another good option for disabling the DRL.
When I bought my FJ, the previous owner had just unplugged them, so I've never given it much thought until I saw the fuse when installing the HKB voltage booster.
@@ovrlxnd on my 2010 RAV4, taking the relay out disables my high beam bulbs! I hate DRL's that I can't just turn off, but my wife has a 2013 RAV4 and you can turn her switch back and disable all of her lights 😑
Gracias !!!!
✌️👍👍👍
You have to drive the car one foot for the daytime lights to come one. They don’t come on when starting the car parked.
Michael Janini that’s interesting. On our FJ they came on as soon as you started the car, even if it was in park. What year is your FJ?
Kamal Akeel that’s weird yours does that. It should be when the vehicle moves or when the E brake is released they come on. Good video.
Michael Janini ah ok. Well I’m thinking it’s probably because I didn’t have the e brake on. Thanks man.
My 2012's light turn on when it's started and if you want to have them shut off you have to start your vehicle, put your vehicle in neutral, pull the e-brake, shut the vehicle off, then restart the vehicle and they stay off. Soooooo, that means that there is a switch in or around the ebrake that controls that and I assume it would be pretty easy to just install a dash switch that would circumnavigate the ebrake switch. When I get the time I will see if I can put up a video of me modifying mine.
@@mthewolf1095 Oh man I'll have to try that out! I knew in an obscure FJ Forum they discussed this but skipped my mind when looking at mods :p
Mine are only sometimes on. Can't figure it out for the life of me why
Kendall Phillips If the parking brake is on then they won’t come on and also if your FJ is new enough then you have an option to turn them off or on with the headlight stalk. Besides that I’m not sure what it could be.
@@kamalakeel I've had mine since 08, done all kind of stuff to it to get the most out of it ( basically I added a few parts and disabled all the smart systems that governed down the yota) with that being said, all lights on my dash have been on for like 10 years including parking brake light. What blows my mind is how I've had it this long and still don't know why they are on sometimes an not the other. Almost at random
Kendall Phillips I would say it probably has something to do with the parking brake light since that’s on. That’s crazy you’ve been driving it around like that for so long haha. How many miles are on yours?
@@kamalakeel 165k. I couldn't ask for a better rig man, I travel the country building plants. It has literally driven across the country and back 9 times. I've took her everywhere, even the places 4 wheelers can't lol.
@@kamalakeel I notice your running wheel spacers, I am too but my wheels are wide af with an offset. My biggest complaint is one that I've probably caused. I've been going through wheel bearings ever since I put the spacers on. I been looking for a fix other than a bearing replacement that's only going to do it again. And I'm not getting rid of my spacers or wheels lol
I guess my question is have you been running into the same issue or since your wheels ain't wide, your still good
Hey we got the same cars
2007 FJ Cruiser
2013 MAZDASPEED 3
Hahaha that’s pretty sweet. Both good vehicles.
What are doing ????😂
man i cant unplug that harness to save my life😤
pop the front panel from the back under the FJ. It will expose you to that plug.
Its a push clip. You can do it by hand with enough access. I simply unhooked the 10mm bolt, removed the marker light bulb, and undid the white wire retainer clip. The whole assembly comes up enough you can unhook it easily.
Dude is super hot
I know you don't get to pick what ads TH-cam shoves into your video, but they put in an ad from right wing dot org and I was curious if you approve.
Your video is too long, full of needless prattle. You could have just showed of the girl for 5 minutes then popped the panel and disabled in about a minute. I did, after watching the other guy's 3 minute video.
Thank you guys.
