This fix doesnt work for 2007+ models... but->
Ive been scouring the internet for ways to disable the DRLs with no success. Ive found short answers and tips but nothing was succesful for my 2007 LS 4WD (NON-HID!)
I spent a couple hours with a voltmeter and was successful with a simple bypass! I am NOT positive if this would work for the HID equipped Outlanders but maybe... but WILL work for all 2007 (and maybe 2008) NON-HID models.
To sum it all up, i pulled the resistor/relay that controls the DRL... then added my own relay to control the on/off of the headlights. There are fuses for "DRL" and other relays in the fusebox already but none of them turned off the DRLs... and if they do then the headlights dont work anymore either. This mod is all contained under the engine bay fusebox, with 2 small wires running outward to GROUND and DRIVERS SIDE FRONT PARKING LIGHT +. (NOTE: You will lose the ability to run your parking lights only, as the headlights come on with the first tumble of your column mounted headlight switch... but who cares)
It takes about an hour to install, and requires: (1) 12v Standard relay ($4), ~4' of 16awg Wire, and a few crimp on connectors. The install is VERY simple and should last forever (although ive only tested it for 2 nights so far)... if the relay somehow wears out over time... its a quick $4 plug and play.
If you would like a complete install process, possibly with some pics and diagrams... post back or email me and let me know. LsRamAir@yahoo.com
