hehe i disabled them by yanking out the fuse on my 95 s-10 everything still works too. the 98+ s-10 ya gotta bend pin 86 on the drl relay.
i wired up my headlights directly to the battery (with relays) and now thier very noticeably brighter! im gonna do it to my next car its that good. |

98-99 Saturn S Series Cluster Speedometer Gauges LKQ https://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/98-99...em190103661514 98-99 SATURN S SERIES INSTRUMENT CLUSTER https://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/98-99...em290106680905 Have you done a forensic analysis? Are the gauges really fried or are there blown fuses that can be restored? Sounds like it's pick-a-part time. CarloSW2 |
I added a switch to turn mine off, but I still drive lights-on during the day in certain traffic/road scenarios.
I used to teach defensive driving - lights on for safety is a no brainer. Though there are clearly some situations where they're wasting power and not contributing to safety (ie divided, limited access highways). |

I opted to keep them in my Metro. Reason: EXCELLENT backup headlights. I live in the country (bad roads) and like many Metros my fuse box is a bit on the fried side due to the chintziness of it. Until I rewire it, I'll leave them - the headlights regularly just "go out" when I'm driving along my bumpy dirt roads, all I do is switch over to DRL's and I'm fine. :thumbup:
I hated my Saturns DRL's, they're so bright they blind people. If you drive a Saturn S series and tell me you've never been brighted because of your DRL, I'll either say you don't drive it much or you're a liar. :p |

You sure the Saturn DRLs aren't high beams run through a resistor to cut their light output?

I've heard they were run through a resister, but they are just so darn bright I find it hard to believe. On my old SW2 I just pulled the relay and never got around to running the jumper wire - sacrificed the one high beam.
