^^^ how many miles on it?

20k!!!

Just did my DRL disable. As for pictures, I just finished up and put everything back, but the DRL module looks exactly like TwinkE's pictures; no noticeable differences. The description of how to get there also matches previous descriptions in this thread:

Under the steering column, 3 popits, two are like, screw in popits, one is a straight up popit. After pulling that panel out (it doesn't come ALL the way out, because of one connector that connects to the panel) if you look up above the clutch, you will see a black box that has a sticker on it labeled:

"Cont. DRL Module" I think. (Control DRL Module?)

I think that's what mine said.

Connected to that black box are two connectors, one white and one black. You will want to pull the black one. Stick a small screwdriver tip into the hook and yank the connector out.

 

I had a really hard time pushing in the wire pin to get it out the other side, so I ended up cutting it like many others. There just isn't a lot of space in there to do a lot of maneuvering.

 

Thanks everyone for such an elaborate thread to make this process really easy!!

OK reviving a really old thread here. I've read the whole thing, and still have some confusion

I've got an 08 Outback XT Limited. I removed the white connector under the dash, which disabled the DRLs. However the high-beam indicator does not illuminate on the dash when the high-beams are on... I'm usually pretty aware of when they're on, but have been flashed a few times.

Does anyone know if the 05-06 method will work on the 08? I don't mind pulling the wires, just trying to make it work so that I disable the DRLs, and still have a functioning high-beam indicator on the dash...
