Pop the hood and look on the fender well, in front of the battery for a black box with yellow letters with a "caution hot" warning. It shoud be just in front of the fuse box. That is the device that controls the "dimness" of the DRL's. Then find the wire and plug that goes into that black box. There is only one. Press in the side of that plug and pull it apart and the DRL's should go out. You probably should then tie up that plug and also put tape over both the plug and socket openings so it doesn't get moisture inside. That should do it. It won't affect your high beams at all, and will just stop your DRL's.

barkat, what would happen if you left it plugged in and just removed the DRL fuse. Would you get a "bulb out" light on the dashboard?

I don't know whether this would affect anything else or not.. The method I gave is the one that has been proven to work. Or if you want brighter DRL's, you can put a jumper in the female plug after you pull it from the resistor box, but the lights will still be yellowish.
