I just have to turn the headlight switch to turn on the headlights. This should help prolong the life of my HID headlights. I already burned up one ballast from the headlight flash, I suspect.

Thanks all for sharing this information!

Glad to help. I remember the agony of trying to figure this out back in the day.

I did this mod years ago when I still used the factory alarm. The funny thing is that all was well for about a year, then all of a sudden the park lights would "auto on", day or night. I've learned to live with it and like having the park lights now act as DRL's. LOL

I have thought about re-connecting the yellow wire and then unplug the module to totally disable the auto lights.
