I think I saw a previous Thread you did on this. If you pulled fuse 2 in the engine box AND DRL relays 38 and 40 the DRLs should not work, even on Export cars. Of course this assumes the OEM wiring design.
What Brown wire are you talking about?

blue for Turn Signal,
brown for parking lights

if I cut the brown this will cancel the parking lights but wondering on what code will pop up on display

Why would you cut the parking light circuit if your issue is with the DRLs? You can cut the Brown wire if you want to, it will cause no codes.
I don't know who modified your wiring but the way it should work is the Multifunction switch turn signal power goes thru the DRL relays. So pulling the relay should prevent the turn signals from working.
When DRLs are requested (relay coils energized) power is from fuse 2 and thru the DRL relays. Anytime a turn signal is used the appropriate relay coil is deenergized.
Isn't it about time you started looking at the wiring going into the bulbs and try to tell me what you see?

want to make sure we are on the same page
the drl socket is 3 wires
the parking light (small bulb) is the 2 wire socket
the brown wire (in the 3 wire socket) is the power to the drl from my readings.

already did. I don't see any mods made. has factory wrapping etc on harness.

Glad to help, there is a reason, we just need to figure it out.
OK, do you have 3 bulbs in the left and right which is Export or just 2 bulbs in Domestics?
In the Domestics the DRL and the Turn signal are the same filament and the Parking light filament is the other one in the same shared bulb. The side marker light being the other bulb. Therefore only 2 bulbs.
In either case of Export or Domestic the DRL/Turn signal wires are the Light Blue and Dark Blue, forget which color is on what side, not at home now. The Parking light and side marker are Brown also in both cases.
If we need to discuss on the phone just PM me.
Mr. Sam
PS: Do the DRLs go out at night with the headlights ON? Also, during the day, does a front turn signal cause it to blink as it should and then go back to solid bright when you turn the signal OFF?

no just 2 like usa cars

right
1 bulb is turn only 2 wire
1 bulb is turn/drl 3 wire

No. The one on the left is the DRL/Turn Signal and Parking light. The one on the right is the side marker light.
The DRL and Turn Signal are one (the same) filament in the bulb and the other is the Parking light.

I guess I am lost to c5 lighting. so we know my goal here is to delete drl because of the heat issue within lens.
so if you can explain each position of the switch on a stock car so I can understand how the c5 works and when the drl works.
my plan is to have when light switch set to zero postion I do not have a running 3157 bulb. which I thought that was the point to a2 fuse or relay delete.

If you remove the relays you lose the DRL and turn signal function. If you remove the Fuse 2 in the engine fuse box you just delete the DRL function. It is no more difficult than that.
Do it again now you better know what lights are what.

Can you take a picture of your fuse box diagram and the fuse box itself and point out which fuse you've pulled?
