Is it possible to easily disable the DRLs for a 2001 Corolla?

Detailed instructions are at "

The first thing that I noticed is that they don't have the U.S. problem of many vehicles with extremely bright, and poorly aimed DRLs. Or maybe because it was winter and the cars were all so dirty that the dirt was blocking a lot of the light.

The second thing I noticed that there were a _LOT_ of vehicles with only one headlight operating, a lot more than in the U.S..

I don't recall seeing the major U.S. problem with DRLs, drivers that don't realize that their lights aren't on, only their DRLs, so that they're driving with no rear lights.

Are you sure the bright and poorly aimed DRL's are actually DRL's?

I'm not. I usually notice that the bright ones have tail lights on, which means they're headlights.

Thanks, that is simple enough.

I am sure that the ones that I see are those stupid high beam DRLs that have no business being aimed up at my eyes. Tomes

Do you know if this procedure is good for 2006 Corolla?

I wonder if these are illegal in Canada. They are the most annoying type. GM loves them.

I'm sure it's not. 2003-2007 is the ninth generation Corolla for the U.S., and is different than the 1998-2002.

Dunno about Canada... I see these evil high beam DRLs on Toyotas, GMs and BMWs (I think that is all). The BMWs are especially evil. Tomes

They use the high beams because they don't want to burn out the low beam filaments prematurely. They put the high beam filaments in series for DRLs to lower the light output. It's a terrible way to do DRLs. The NHTSA should be issuing updated standards for lights that addresses the DRL problems. Until then, it'd be best if everyone disabled them.
