RE: 2007 DRL - Daytime Running Lights Disabled!
Well im a hunter myself and I dont want to go out at 4AM and dodge vehicles driving around with thier lights off. Same goes I dont want to drive down a road with my lights off not able to see other hunters and accidently hit one thats standing on the edge of the road because I had my lights off. If your driving through the woods with your lights off you run the risk of hitting deer that you cant see. People hit deer in the day light, now imagine how much harder it is to see a deer running out in front of you with no lights at all. Is disabling your DRL lights worth thousands of dollars of damage to your outlander? I dont know where lefty hunts but if its somewhere he has other people hunting then he should have some sort of lights on to see them because we all know theres some dumb people out there. On a side note if your hunting small game where there are alot of people and they have dogs, I would like to have my lighst on so I dont runthe dogs over. Dogsdont understand running in front of a car is a bad idea.These are my points.

I wanted to disable the DRLs because i caught myself driving at dusk/night a few times with my headlights off... because i "thought they were on" when i saw my DRLs. Its my simple mistake... but for a while i would be driving with no running lights on.
ALSO... I purchased Silverstar Ultra Headlight Bulbsand they have a limited lifetime, i didnt want them burning ALLLLLL day for no reason and wearing out sooner.

RE: 2007 DRL - Daytime Running Lights Disabled!
I am from Canada where there is no HID option. I am considering adding aftermarket HIDs. The problem is that with the DRL circuit it doesn't supply enough voltage to the HID during the day and they would flicker. Your post solves 2 piece of the puzzle.
Disable the low beam headlights as DRL.
Rewire the headlights with 12v
Is there a way to wire the DRL circuit to use the fogs as DRL? It is required by law in Canada to have some DRL. Essentially, I am trying to rewire my outie to behave like the US model with HID.

I agree the OP had good intentions, but in all seriousness, disabeling DRL's is only practical and worth the hassle if its on the HID's equiped models because those models take away the practicality of fog lights.
