I think your right Mitko. I've aways wanted to know how to turn off my lights, while driving, completely off. Never been able to do it. If there is some way to figure out a by pass, I'd be willing to do it. You never know when you'll need to out run the po po

lol

That would explain why no TSB or recall.

Turning off DRL completely may be as simple as disabling the DRL relay but I haven't looked at the schematics/drawings. I don't remember seeing DRL in the FSM I have but, since I don't have DRL, I haven't really looked. If you can supply a link (or which page in the FSM) to the schematics, someone ought to be able to tell you how to do it.

Thanks guys for chiming in.
But it's not the DRL - it's the side marker lights and license plate lights: the little lights (white at front and orange/red at rear) on the out-most-corner of the light assembly and the lights above the license plate.
In other car they're on only when you turned on the headlights, but in mine they're on whenever the car is put into gear (again, I didn't turn the the light switch to auto or ON position.)
The second dealer I went to last Saturday told me "it's the new style that Nissan new car have or will have it..." So far I couldn't find any car on the road that has the side marker lights and license plate light turned on at bright daylights like that...
