    This was one of the first things I did to my car. Helps to be really flexible with that one. And it also helps to NOT be 6 foot 1 lol.

    lol, I was afraid of the DRL problem when I got the Lex.... so I was super thrilled to find out that all I had to do to disable the DRL was go under the hood and do this

    I'd rather unplug something under the hood rather than contort myself to extract a fuse lol.

    Maybe if you had more sex you'd be a bit more bendy and wouldn't have to "contort" yourself lol

    Yeah I could tape it, but if water connects it, all that will do is run the DRL at full, rather than half power.
