Daytime Running Lights

Just curious if anybody knows how easy it is to disconnect the DRL on the new mustangs. No handbrake methods, I would still like to use my cruise control. Or how I could re-route the DRLs to operate the running lights in the grill instead. Does anybody offer this service in southwestern ontario?

ON the last style there was a module under the front bumper...I did mine myself in 30 seconds. I would imagine if you find the module your good to go...good luck!

Are the '04s and '05s similar? Any idea whereabouts or should I just feel around?

Thanx Eric! Will check it out when the snow melts from the driveway and see if that is where it is.

Call a Ford dealer and ask where the DRL module is. The parts guy may be able to tell you.

The one on mine was very easy, just like Biz said.

Is it clearly marked and does it affect anything else?

check the owners manual to see if it does in fact exist on the 05+ and its location

Well i've looked for a module under bumper on drivers side, DRL relays, fuses and can't seem to find anything on the car or in the owners manual. I've talked to the organization called "drivers against daytime running lights" and they are going to look into it as well. I've also posted on some other forums and contacted ford for info but nothing too concrete is coming back to me. I am guessing it may be comuter controlled on the 05+. I am thinking that it might require a tune or deactivation code to disable the DRL's. Will keep on looking.
