I suppose you could pull the fuse for them, but God knows what else that might disable. I'm not a big fan of them either, but once I found out that my insurance carrier gives me a discount for having them, I became a big fan.

If you were in an accident and an inspector found out that you modified them so they would be turned off, a lawyer could claim you were at fault for the accident for disabling a safety feature.

When I first got my car, I thought about disabling the EPS, then again, you could be blamed if you were in an accident and an inspector found out you modified it.

This is not accurate. They will be mandatory in the European Union by 2011 and have been in Canada for sometime now. But I know of no plans for this to become the case in the U.S. in the near future.

i wouldnt disable them... its a good safety feature. Some cars you have to pay extra to get the feature like the Accord. Im assuming you think they are "fugly" because they are a brownish tinge?? Maybe swap out the bulb for a HID colored bulb so ease your pain.

I wish the tsx had the DRL like the one at new Audi A4 and A5. Yea, I wonder how it would look like if we change ours to LED. Anyone try this? Are the ones in Audi just regular LEDs?

Pull the fuse from inside fuse box. Not from under hood.
I disabled it since day 1
