Daylight Override

There should be a relay specifically for that on your fuse/relay panel. Just pull it out and set it aside incase you need a spare relay one day.

 

There's probably not a fuse specifically for the DRLs, but there is a relay.

 

I'm curious as to why you want to do this.

 

I guess he doesn't beleive that being seen makes it safer for others????

 

It's hard to look "cool in your stool" driving a company cob with the headlights on!

 

Maybe the guy just wants to use his own common sense on when to turn his lights on. Maybe he'd like to be able to blink his headlights. I personally think that DRLs should only be legal if they turn on all of the vehicle's lights-way too many people forget to turn on the lights when it gets dark because they can still see the road in front of them with the DRLs.

I've been hit by cars twice since I've been driving, once during the day, and once before dawn. Had my lights on both times, and neither one of them saw me.

 

Josh, you can still "blink your headlights" if you feel the absolute need. But don't you think that doing everything you can to help you to be seen makes more sense? Even though you have been hit twice while your headlamps are on, you will never know what kind of accidents were AVOIDED because of them.

I will agree that all the lights should be on, not just the headlamps, and for the reason you stated.

 

The thing about the DRLs on an International is that you can't blink them off, I think some other manufacturers have them set to where they can be interrupted quickly. Another issue (although admittedly a piddly one) is there are a few scalehouses that have signs asking you to dim your headlights. I'm sure they'd understand, but I'd rather keep a low profile and not be the one singled out. These are some of the reasons I pulled mine. I absolutely agree with doing everything you can to be seen, I usually turn mine on anytime I'm on a road with at-grade intersections or in any kind of reduced visibility, or even when the sun's really bright, like before dusk. I just prefer to have control over whether they're on or off.
