Disable DRL???

Disable DRL???

How do I disable DRL on a corolla 99. and this might be a stupid question but how much gasoline I'm saving from having drl remove.

thanks

i dont know where it is located at, but it wouldn't save gas all it will do save your bulbs

try this on for size: http://vamp.darkravers.net/DIYDisablingDRLs.cfm

lol! i'll make sure to tell him...hehe.

i don't know if he'll be back. he's got another forum to moderate...and i think he's just getting tired of the scene.

frankly, it's not like he's got the time anymore anyway...he's a busybusy man.

I dont know if its already been asked, but where is Vamp?

drl is so much safer tho, your visibility improves a lot for other drivers, I wish I had them

I disabled the drl's like in Vamps DIY and I leave them on at least 95% of the time - it's just that I wanted the option of being able to turn them off when I wanted/needed to, so that's why I did it with the switch. (It works great btw )

well when you have bulbs that cost 15 bucks a pop, you dont want to run them 24/7.
that is the reason why i cut mine, im also more used to not having all of the creature comforts of my rolla

tru, I agree then

I think he is not coming back, and toyrolla too. That's what they said on CC

i know Toyrolla will not be returning.

Derrick, on the other hand...we'll see.

er...why don't you email him? seriously...i won't remember to tell him to do so, and his online business generally doesn't involve me.

Lol, that works. Oh, my car finally... finally goes into the shop later this week or early next. JGSTools took freaking forever to send out the manifold flange.

ok, well, no new posts on toyrolla.com and I'm real bored right now... so here I am. lol.

Oooooooooooooooooo
Its God

yea i did the drl thing today cuz i dont want to burn out my bulbs super quick. followed vamps drl. wut he failed to mention was that theres a screw holding the harness that is just a BITCH to get out. maybe cuz i didnt have a short screwdriver but omg that sucker was a bitch. anyway thanks vamp for the diy u r truly the diy king

Heh, I know exactly what screw you are talking about too. I remember seeing it and was like WTF? Then I saw that it could be popped out.

this is gonna sound bad after you spent all that work... but u didnt actually hace to remove that screw... you just shove a flathead betwen the harness and the mount and it pops right off.

I tried to remove that screw also when i did mine but then i read the DIY again and he does mention to just shove a flathead in.

hows the turbo project coming vamp?

I followed your DRL disable guide, myself, although a) I also took out that screw, and b) I backed the wire out of the harness rather than just clip it (although maybe I should have put in a switch.) Still, your guide made it all possible, as without it I probably would have tried to remove the wire from the A/C controls rather than from the DRL main relay.

My next mod will be disabling the automatic A/C (which comes on when the heater control is set to one of the defogging modes.) My main reasons for doing that are:I like the diffused air that comes over the dashboard better than the direct in-my-face air from the vents, but don't like the drag on the engine and the corresponding loss in performance and economy when the A/C is on unnecessarilyOn very cold winter days, when I'm warming up the car, the extra drag may mean the engine would dieI'm smart enough to turn on the A/C when doing so is advantageous to defogging the windshield. In the winter, the A/C doesn't help all that much, it is only in the summer or warmer days that one would rather use cold, dry air rather than heated air (dry or not) to defog
Another mod I'd like to do is to allow the power windows to be used when the key is in the Accessory position, not in the On position.

If I do those mods, I may put them up on my website in a step-by-step tutorial form for others to do. You have inspired me, Vamp!

It does save fuel, perhaps not all that much, but over time it adds up. My basis for saying that it does indeed save fuel is that the alternator has to work less hard by not having the additional load on it.

The manifold it being made right now. Once the base is welded together, the car goes into the shop so that they can start making the custom piping.

Thnks again Vamp for the DIY on this. I did it last night in about 5 minutes. I like it so much better.
