This is a un-annoying non-gas using safety device. Why cut a perfectly good wiring harness? Heck you dont even notice them when your driving? As a habit from when I dorve a truck I drive my 74′ Opel Manta with its headlights on all the time for safety reasons. I can think of at least 3 times it has helped avoid a accident in the morning when the sun was to the bakc of my car and I almost had someone cut in front of me. Also the dealer cant touch it its a safety device and they cant remove it. Charles Goin President, Mid-Atlantic Opel Association An Chapter of the North American Opel Asso. http://www.opel-na.com ..

My freind bought a ‘97 C1500 pickup that has the daytime driving lights and would like to either disconnect them altogether or have a toggle switch installed to turn them on and off. My sugestion was to take it back to the dealer to have it done since it might be tied into the main computer board on the truck and let them do it. Does anyone else have any other solutions to disabling the driving lights without having to take it back to the dealer? If you have run into this problem before and know how to fix it please reply to this post or e-mail me. Thanks in advance.

Not likely to be tied into a computer – just a relay and the charging system/ignition switch. It would be very easy if you knew A) where the relay was, or B) where in the wiring harness the power-lead to the relay was. Without that, it will be a bear.
