Topic #37652 9 posts Started by WALKER
Well I am hoping that someone can tell me how to disable the daytime running lights in the 6gc. Anybody from Canada accomplished this task?

I am hoping that I can diable the daytime running lights and install HID's in case anybody is wondering why I want to disable them.

I didn't know that they had them mate. You sure its not just yours?
They must be wired into the ignition somewhere, disconnect that and they'll stop.

i thought about disabling them but i never got around to doing it.
you don't need to disable them for HIDs unless your putting some in the high beam

one place to start would be to pull the DLR fuses from the mox mounted on the radiator

It's funny... I'm looking for way how to mount on some additional "Daytime Running Lights" because I don't want to drive all the time with "main" lights turned on (new rule in Czech Republic next month will be valid kindasad.gif )

No more replicas... This is evolution... This isSS-four:)________[Featured Celica of 6gc.net @ 2010]_________
Try finding some relay under the dashboard, beneath the steeringweel.
They are under the hood in their own relay box, close to the radiator

not sure what the new rule implies but you can always have a set of fog lights, or just simply your headlights or a dimed down high beam, that turn on with the ignition and hand brake down. if you want help wiring something like that, pm me wink.gif

With WRX's theres an ebrake wire that controls the lights. So even if the car is on, if the ebrake is up, then they're off. If its the same way you can probably just ground out the wire and they'll be off.

Alright thanks guys for all the info, may get around to looking into it. This is one of those projects down the road.

K-ESD, what I was thinking of doing was getting 4 HID's. Was thinking of having my high beams around 5500k for a bright white light and was thinking of going for my low beams as an 8500k and get more of a bluish purple light for my regular city driving.

Once again this is all possibilities I am thinking about, of course just researching now to answer some of my questions.

i see, lil update for ya, the day time running light computer is right between the ABS-CU and ECU under the dash, it's a little black box with one plug in it. you should be able to see it by pulling one the carpet on the center console side near the gas pedal. I would try pulling the fuse under the hood first too see what happens. I wish i could try it myself, the celica is in a million pieces.

lmk what you find
