Question Daytime Running Lights ....

I got a new <2004> E350 Extended PSD < Power Stroke Diesel> 6 L turbo, A/C, ABS, 4 Wheel Disk brakes. Anyone know how to disable the DLRs in ACC key postion ? Amps suck enough power from batts as is without headlights on TOO. Was late for work the other day listening to tunes . And not really into letting the whole world know I 'm sitting in truck rockin the parking lot cause headlights are on.

well not positive on yours, but if you follow your headlight wires to a box appx twice the size of a regular relay, that'll be it, shouldn't be much else in the headlight system unless you have auto light sensing headlights.....I'm trying to find an exact location for you and the best method of bypassing....but it might take a bit.
