Default How to bypass headlight being ALWAYS on

New 997 Turbo Owner and would like to find a way (DIY or Shop) to eliminate my headlights always being on. Has anyone done this, have any bypass or anything they can suggest?

In the US there is no "daytime running light" law like Canada, and I think it looks stupid to be driving around with them on during the day.

Thanks in advance - RZ

I added a "left your lights on idiot" buzzer to my 356... simple door buzzer between headlight fuse and ignition fuse.

I would imagine that you could add a switch that would open the circuit for the headlights just as easy. Can you find a wiring diagram online?

Find a Porsche shop with the Porsche computer, they can turn them off.

+1 for David A this is simple change 2 minutes

Steve option is good if you want to do DIY

Check in PCM settings you might have option enabled that controls this

Are you sure that they can turn them off with the computer?
