Disable DRL 2013 V6

[rock90210]

Has anyone found a solution to disabling the daytime running lights on the 2013 v6 model?
They will only turn off when the parking break is down while the car is running. I drive on a military installation daily and they are very blinding at the checkpoint.

This.

You'd think there would be a fuse you could pull or something. Especially with the DRLs just being the brights at half power. Is there a half power fuse one could pull?
Then it would only be the full power fuse when you want to use the lights for their intended purpose and off when they try to switch to half power drl mode.

In some cars you can click the parking brake down just enough to get the lights off but before the brake grabs. Not sure if that works on the Genesis.

I have disabled mine using a relay that triggers when the headlights are turned on. PS the high beams also work when flashing people because the low beams turn on as well. If you want more details feel free to ask.

Many of those guys WILL like you if you share more details, possibly DYI thread?

It's really annoying that DRL goes on when you start the car. I'd like to disable them as well.

Just keep the lights in manual on. The DRLs are off and the HIDs + eyebrows are constantly on. I keep mine like that all the time.

The OP mentions he doesn't want to blind people at his military base. HIDs would be worse than the DRLs even.

HIDs are projected and automatically leveled so there is no blinding going on unless the people are taking a nap on the ground.

Even with auto leveling they are still dazzlingly bright, its just their nature.

I sent you a pm.... but if you could post instructions on how you disbaled your DRL I'd appreciate it.

How blinding are the other 4,000 cars with DRLs that come through that checkpoint? ,-)

Please send me that PM too. Thanks!

if anyone figures this out, I would love to know, I installed HIDs all around for my 2014 3.8 base and when the DRL is on, it strobes instead at half power... any ideas?

Per request, attached is my mod that disables the DRL's on 2009-2014 genesis when the low beams are off and enables the high beams when the low beams are on. Thanks.

The strobing is caused by the PWM signal that runs the DRL, I also ran into this issue when I installed my HID high beams. Doing the relay mod fixed my issue.

 

[Sal Collaziano]

The only HIDs I've ever been blinded by are aftermarket. Perhaps my eyes are not very sensitive. I don't know. But I've seen some extremely - ridiculously bright HIDs installed on cars - but they're aftermarket. And I feel people often confuse these for being OEM...

Doing this also keeps the tail lights on all the time. IMO it looks kind of tacky having all the lights on all the time. When I bought the car I thought the eyebrows where the DRLs but learned soon after they were just LED accents. I have also been wanting a solution to disable the DRL but keep it working normally for high beam function.

هذا.

كنت تعتقد أنه سيكون هناك فتيل يمكنك سحبه أو شيء من هذا القبيل. خاصة مع كون DRLs مجرد السطوع بنصف الطاقة. هل هناك فتيل نصف قوة يمكن للمرء أن يسحبه؟
عندئذٍ سيكون هذا هو فتيل الطاقة الكامل فقط عندما تريد استخدام الأضواء للغرض المقصود منها وإيقاف تشغيلها عندما يحاولون التبديل إلى وضع نصف الطاقة drl.

BStarr119 - it would be great if you could mention what parts to buy, where to buy them and how to hook them up (pictures would really be helpful), for someone like me who don't understand electrical schematic diagrams. it's a pity that the car came with no option to turn these drl's off. Thanks!
