daytime running lights

I have an 01 f350, when I turn on the truck the daytime running lights turn on immediately, how do I get them to not turn on unless I turn on headlight switch?

You should be able to just pull the running light relay. It should be located behind the glove box door, infront of the heater box. There is also a fog lamp relay in this same relay box if you have fog lights also. Your headlights should function normally without the relay.

I havn't tried this so if it doesn't work just reinstall the relay.

Out of curiosity, does your door sticker have a maple leaf on it?

If I do not have DRL, can I just install the relay to get them?

I did the above. Manual disable/overide the DRL, didn't like my DRL on while cranking in the winter, or when parked.
