If you want to look "normal", leave them alone - in Canada, all new cars
since the early 90s have been required to have DRLs. I believe the US
has similar laws. With them, your car is about as "normal" as any other
'06. Accord or otherwise.

On what? They're only on when the engine is running, so they're not
draining the battery. At worst you're losing a fraction of one
horsepower. Adjusting your power seats is a bigger drain.

You should check local vehicle regs. In some jurisdictions, disabling
them may be illegal, and may result in fines and/or inspection notices.

 

Most operate at reduced brightness. On our '96 Grand Voyager, the front
signal lights are turned on for DRLs, at a whopping 10W or so each.
It's REALLY not that big a draw.

Yeah, might cost you 0.01mpg. Oooo.

 

You mean you want to be allowed to think for yourself? Many idiots in
positions of power can't understand that.

 

Nope, GM just manufacturers all wiring harnesses for North America in
Canada.

 

The point remains: if your new Accord came with DRLs, then so did
everyone else's, so if looking "normal" is a concern, leave them alone.
