2004 model. The SJB has the Daylight Running Lights integrated into the SJB panel and except for the parking brake "trick", no one has come up with a better idea to disable the DRL. BUT, is there a resistor to the head lights that controls the DRL that can be removed and if so, where is it located?

DRL uses PWM(pulse width modulation), a circuit , that pulse the 12volts so low beams only run at about 60 to 70% brightness

If you want to poke around in the SJB circuit board/electronics I am sure you could disable DRL, along with many other things, lol, so be careful

May be someone has done what you say but I never came across it

I was afraid of that. I'm not that brave and don't know circuits boards. Thanks.

Wow, that's awakening an oldie... !

My Fogs were on with the ignition, I used to leave the Fog Light Switch on, Fogs were on as long as the Truck was running.

I never replaced my Fog Light Bulbs in the first five years of the lights were on all the time.

I removed them when I put the Winch Bumper on.

Anyone could put together a circuit to make the Fogs run all the time with w switch, just in case, IF the need arose.

WHEN EVER I get my new LED Fog Lights installed I want them running as DLRs too.

Not that anyone will be reading this Thread but it is a good one for DRL !
