Just checking to see if anyone knows of a way to either disable or turn off the Daytime Running Light Feature on a 2014 Stingray. Thanks..

On the 16, turn the light switch the way you turn it off, and the DRL (auto) will go off.

There's no way to turn them off permanently, but every time I start the car I turn them off by rotating the "auto light" ring on the stalk.

When I start the car in the garage the headlights come on because it's dark in there. I just turn off the "auto light" feature and it tells you on the instrument display that auto lights are off. And that will keep the DRL's from coming on.

If you're driving in the evening with the DRL/auto lights off and it gets dark, when the auto feature would normally turn on the headlights it will tell you that you should turn on your lights, so just rotate the ring and the headlights will come on.

Thank you for your suggestions gentlemen but I was hoping for some sort of a permanent solution..

Just curious why you would want to do that ? I think they look badass. Gives the car a very modern look.

Far enough

familyman's C7

Being a C7, it does that on it's own.

Good point.

In Pennsylvania the DRLs are mandatory. I like to be seen by my fellow drivers, could prevent a crash. Exactly why the lights are there!

I know the new LED's are long-lasting bulbs, but in my estimate of all late-model GMC & Chevy SUV's & pick-ups with DRL's(not LED's), approx. 15-20% have one burned or broken out, looking like crap.

WHY, they are designed to make sure the little old lady (or man) or
the teenager who is texting have a better chance of seeing you....and not totaling your ride or your body.

bigsapper

That is actually the design intent.

They're ugly and I would turn them off too. Strings of white LEDs are a fad.

BenCasey

LOL!

A fad. Indeed. Like splitters, spoilers, and Bluetooth. How old are you?

jayjordon

Old enough at 45 to know when something is overblown and unnecessary just like your post.

BenCasey

Well, our two posts up above have a lot in common then.

Its a safety issues, let me know where you drive so I don't go there

Before retirement last year I had a 25 mile commute each way mostly on 2 lane 55 MPH rural roads and during part of the year I was on the road either right at dawn or dusk driving into the sun. Oncoming traffic not running headlights or DRLs are not very visible and I saw numerous near misses where someone pulled out to pass and then the oncoming vehicle suddenly became visible. DRLs also work as a good safety feature for the numerous idiots who drive in the rain without lights although my favorite was driving in the fog earlier this year and met two Chrysler minivans, one white and one silver, following each other in the fog with no lights on.

It is likely the LED DRLs on the C7 will be working when almost nothing else does, they should have an extremely long life unlike the incandescent running lamps on my 2006 GMC diesel pickup.

But isn't that the whole purpose of DRL? To make the car more visible during the day.
I'll bet you want to black out the tail lights too.
