Default DRL turn off

I know the safety concerns, the insurance concerns, but how do you turn off the daylight running lights permantely. I did it on the C5. I never liked the looks of the DRls on the C5. Now looking at the C6 DRLs being up high I'm having trouble getting use to them. And like them even less. IHO....

-Turn the light switch one notch up from "auto" and then release to turn off the DRLs.

This is from a "C6 FAQ" by Scissors about a month ago.

Don't know how to do it permanently.

Insurance companies do give a discount for DRL's and your car being more visible to others is a safety plus. Besides, you say you don't like the look but when you're driving, you can't see them. Maybe you should ask all other C6 owners to turn them off.

1. This is a 7 year old thread.

2. This is C6 General, not C5 General.
