On my 1998 V70, my headlights come on anytime the ignition is on unless you select parking lamps. Is there a way to disable this feature? On my Geo, I was able to fool the DRL module by grounding a wire, but this car is not the same.

 

I belive on the light switch (left of the steering wheel) there's a small little screw! If the screw line vertical then the lights are off. If they are horizontal then they are off!

 

Really?

/me runs outside in his underwear to check................

 

Did it work?
Was it cold only being in your underwear?

 

I turned the little screw, but found I forgot the keys to test, so I will know later.

BTW, 30 degree weather+boxer shorts+leather= cold!

 

LOL they should be off now.

 

Man, u're brave going out like that at 30 degrees.Glad its 80 here....

 

I hope you mean the DRLs......

 

Yes I do!!! LOL

 

I think he froze to death, or got arrested for indecent exposure!

I'd like to know that as well. Man I'd love to power those DRLs off. Is there a screw like that on the V70 as well? damnit I'm going out in my boxers too screw it

 

Yours is different since it is an 01. His is an older one that has the screw.
Yours the dealer needs to do.

 

Alas, I don't have a screw. Maybe there's some other way of doing it though I'm not aware of on the '01 +

 

OH ok. Let me guess, they have to reprogram something or other right? It's not something you can do by changing the wiring?

 

They need to change a setting in the computer.

 

Sorry for not updating! I had to wait until Spring thaw to get my nuts off the leather!

The small screw head is right on the headlamp switch on the lower right corner. Mine was in the vertical position. I turned it counter-clockwise to the 10:00 position and the DRL's are now off!

 

I just chuckled at the fact that you were going out in your boxers looking for a screw.



**This post contributes nothing of substance to the topic**

 

Cool.... Glad that worked for u!...........

 

Is this something the dealer has to do for me? Alright...how much? Anyone? Anyone?

Oops...that's a 2006 not 2008.

 

I hate the full low beam DRL's on the 06. Especially since the bulbs are so convenient to replace. Right.

BTW, Johnny, check out this month's Car & Driver. You'll NEVER guess which car they chose to compare against Prius and whatever that new Honda hybrid Prius clone is. Need a hint? Its got a 3 cylinder engine!

 

Yeah! I seen that. Pretty cool the underdog is the real winner.

yoyo, I am not sure if your model year has this feature. Do you see a small screw head next to the headlamp switch?
