how do you disable DRL's on the echo? is it as easy as unplugging the DRL relay like the yaris?

while i like the idea of parking light DRL, it IS easier to just unplug the DRL module and turn on the lights when you need them....unless you have an RS yaris with factory fogs

Adam, i believe the DRL module works exactly the same as the one found in the Yaris. You have one wire that will activate the low beam on a pulse. Just take that and tap it to the light you want to turn on as DRL..

If you unplug the module, you will lose the handbrake light on the dash.

Barber got an echo. The only thing that affects the Yaris is the fog lights. Just tap the orange wire to ground. For me, I modified the relay box to turn on the fogs as DRL. It's the big blue wire that I wired up to the orange wire. I also had to add a cap so cancel out the pulsing effect since the fog relay doesn't like that.

Yeah, I went with 100w H4 bulbs in the end on my echo, until I sold it.
