That's right, you can just yank the relay out and you wont have DRLs anymore, it's that simple.

It's not legal for a manufacturer to make and sell a new car in Canada not equipped with DRL, but there's no law against a consumer from removing the feature. Personally I like the idea of having DRLs, I had to disable mine when I got my HID lights (and I've since hooked my foglights up as DRLs).

This is true. But you need DRL's when you go to trade in or resell your vehicle.
TEAM PITA Don't settle for a wannabe, only accept the real deal.

One day I will rule the world. For now, I have to settle for this place.

Im pretty sure that if your car is over 'X' year,DRL's are part of your safety check.
