MasterI went online and the consensous is that you should have a little dome/sensor on the dash usually on drivers side that is it. Hope that answers the question. Doesn't the owners manual have the info?

Visitor, March 09, 2011, 15:06That's exactly what I did! So let me get this straight. There's a dome/sensor on the dash that controls the
the day running lights? (not the lights on the dash). If that were the case, there'd be no problem. But the lights are supposed to go off by themselves when the car is turned off. Apparently, there's no was to turn the running lights off manually.Flag This -
