    My 94 has drls and it’s annoying, is there a wire I can cut, relay I can pull, or a module I can unplug to disable them? I thought about changing to led headlights to make them more attractive, but I like my glass lights.

    Are the lights aftermarket? If so then yes there should be a wire hooked up for the DRL

    I think Canadian markets had DRLs even as far back as our trucks. I don't know the fuse but you should find it in the fuse panel. Otherwise, just pull the bulbs for now.

    Isn't it wired into the parking brake?! I believe it grounds/ungrounds the light..

    No, it’s not, but the above info was correct, the module is a small grey unit below the radio, I unplugged it but then my headlights didn’t work, saw online that some guys were cutting the black/orange wire, but I don’t like cutting harnesses so I unpinned it from the connector and they’re off now, thx!
