Lightbulb Daytime running lights.

How do I turn my daytime headlights off on my 2002 F-150?

Somewhere, there is a relay for them. Remove it and they should stay off. It is possibly in the Power Distribution box under the hood.
I hate DRL. I have glare sensitive eyes and they annoy me to no end. Every Generic Motors have them.

I have a 2001 Screw Lariat Gen III model that has a switch on the dash that allows me to control all of the light functions. The switch is on the left of the steering wheel on the dash. Off, turns this function and all other auto functions off.

This is my first post since Aug. 2006. Have been fighting Cancer and am now am in recovery. Good news is they got it all, the bad is that it will take me six months to a year to recover from the surgery. But at least I now feel like posting and being a part of this site again.

On my Silverado, u can shut them off by slightly pressing the parking break down. Don't know if that works on Fords. Otherwise pull the DRL relay.....

"I want to Disable DRL on my Truck...
This is actually very easy. You need to find the RESISTOR and disconnect it. It's that easy. And Yes... your low beam and high beams will still work with the resistor unplugged."

You must have purchased a canadian F-150 because the american f-150's don't come with DRL's. I added the two parts necessary to enable DRL's on my 2002 F-150. So i know you can disable it. Unplug the wire going to the resistor on the drivers side. No more headlights at start up.
