I'm not "car smart" as the rest of you but I just recently put in HIDs in my 2002 runner sr5 and I do not want them running during the daytime. I found another thread on disabling them but it was for a 2002 Limited 4runner so it had fog lights and what not. I need help pleeease!

I also didn't bother adding a switch. I just cut the yellow and black wire, wrapped it in some electrical tape and called it good.

I have a Sport, so it also has the factory fogs and it didn't effect them at all.

That's one way, another is just pull the yellow/Black wire out of the connector.
 
Redneck way!!!

I like the Redneck way myself lol. I just tried that and it seems to work just pulled up 1 clik and no more DRL. Well it didnt work at first cause I had the truck already running when i did that but then after I shut it off and then restarted it they were out and the reg. lights work fine!! I dont really think the e-brake is engaged at all cause i can still rock the truck back n fourth pretty easy. Just gotta deal with the brake light on all the time.:banana:

Why not just do this??

You got it brotha!! It sucks to see the brake light (wondering if there's a way to disable it ... oh yeah, take the bulb out ... lol) but at least you'll know you don't have a serious brake issue... unless you actually do have one lol.
 
Just straight cut them with wire cutters?
I tried to pull those two wires out of the connectors but they wouldnt come out ?
 
The redneck 1 click on the parking brake method also works for those of you with dvd players in the front. :banana:

Yeah just the yellow and black one. I couldn't for the life of me get the wire to just come out on its own, and the position I was in while doing this was quite uncomfortable so I just cut it. Has worked fine since I did this a few months back, and if I ever want to have them work again I just have to grab a wire connector.
 
Just make sure you cut the BLACK WIRE WITH YELLOW STRIPE wire. (look at the picture in that link...it is on a side with only 1 other wire) Took me 1 minute to do it earlier. Tape the ends off.
 
instead of making a new thread i thought i would add my doings. here is an easy way to disable your DRL's and get them back real easy if you need it. without adding a switch.
I just cut the wires and added some connectors to both ends and now it's an easy fix in case i ever need them again
