Fuse 2 in the engine fuse box makes the DRL relays work for DRL use.

The Side Marker lights should not be on unless you have the Parking light on or the headlights on.

With Fuse 2 pulled you should have no DRLs but the Turn Signals should work.

By mods done, the only one I am working on now is my 1965 A990 426 Cross Ram Race Hemi.

from another posting i found but no picture to show where to insert plastic etc
Here's how to do it.

Here is how to disable them permanently and it is reversible and does not affect the operation of any other lights.

1. In the passenger foot well, lower the front carpet.
2. Remove the foot panel.
3. Locate the IPEC (Instrument Panel Electrical Center) it looks like the fuse box next to the battery.
4. Remove the cover of the IPEC.
5. Turn it over and find the diagram of the components.
6. Locate relays 38 and 40. (38 controls the right DRL and 40 the left)
7. Pull each relay and carefully remove the cover.
8. Insert some type of insulator between the relay contacts (matchbook cover cardboard or the plastic from a coffee can lid works well) that you have cut to fit.
9. Replace relay cover, replace relay, replace IPEC cover, and replace the foot well.
10. DONE!!

All you do is to put something that is an insulator between the switch contacts.

Now I am also confused do I need to do the relays or just the fuse. the fuse makes sense since it eliminates the power going to both those relays thus they are also disabled.

Just pull the fuse. If I remember it will prevent the B/U lights from flashing when you use the Approach feature at night but B/U lights will function normally.
