I think there are a couple of fuses for DRL. Check ur manual for those.
Also I just
found this:
1.) Be sure all the power in your car is off (lights turned off, engine off, etc.)
2.) Have a pair of needle nose pliers and flash light handy
3.) Remove the panel under the steering wheel by turning the 2 *****
4.) Look at your fuse panel and remove fuse 12 and 3 (7.5 and 10 amp fuse), #3 fuse is the third from the left on the bottom row....12 is the 2nd from the left on the second row from the bottom
5.) Place the panel back and place the fuses somewhere you can
find them if you need them in the future
6.) Turn on the car and your daytime running lights are now disabled

Yes, all you have to do is simply remove once fuse and voila no DRLs. I did this awhile ago on my EL, but I only removed one fuse, not two.

No, the one fuse I took out only had DRL listed on it. If I remember, I'll check my car tonight and let you guys know exactly which one it was.
