Thing is... why turn them off? I think that they look good + add to general safety too, I mean Audi and Mercs are just cottoning on to the daytime running lights lark, the good old Volvics have been at it for years now!!

They've been a legal requirement in Canada for a long time now on all cars. Think it'd be a good idea to have them here too actually as you say

In the next couple of years it will be illegal not to have DRL's

I agree with mad house, why would you want to turn them off??? My first Volvo (740) had had the fuse pulled when I bought it I swiftly popped a new one in its place.

After posting this, It did not work on mine anyway as the internal screw has broke! I think your all right.

Must actually take a wee nosey on my car to see if its the same considering its only a freshened up 850 anyway.

Same when I bought my Saab 9000 daily hack the fuse had been taken out, so promptly popped it back in!

Which is currently for sale if anyone fancies a good clean workhorse?
