I think the diode twists to release. I couldn't offer any advice though. Last time I tried dealing with it I just cussed at it and left it at that.

The diode has one of those spring type clips. PITA to get off. Iirc I used a thin straight slot screwdriver to help remove mine.

You have a '99. All you have to do is pull the fuse. It's the fuse box in the glove box. You'll get rid of those annoying DRL's and the auto-ons.

But others like me like the auto-on lights but don't like the DRLs.

Dude i pulled my DRl fuse, and my car tweeeeked out. You know that sound when your lights flick on, well it must have been going on and off every quarter of a second, they were going nuts, i put the fuse back in afraid id blow my bulbs. Anyone else run into this kind of stuff?

00+ pulling the DRL fuse does not work, you have to put a switch in.

ONLY for 97-99.
