Hey guy's just a quick ? What fuse shut's off the daytime running lamps? I love the look of my front black out's with the car off. Don't really like the running light's shinning through.

OK here goes:

If you pull the #2 fuse you will LOSE some of the APPROACH features.

This is easy...I promise !

1. In the passenger footwell, lower the front carpet.
2. Remove the foot panel.
3. Locate the IPEC (Instument 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, replace the footwell.
10. DONE!!

You will now have NO drl's and retain ALL of your APPROACH features. I have had mine this way for over three years and have had not a prob. Good luck and feel free to PM me with any question you might have.
