How to turn daylight running lights off

[lurchio2]

Hi. How to turn my daylight running lights off. I've turned the screw by the switch but that just turns the little side lights off. Not the dip beam sidelights. Any ideas.

[p fandango]

i've done it on mine but can't remember how, did a quick search & found you remove the terminal labelled 56b from the headlight relay (i know the next question, which is the headlight relay & i can't remember sorry)

You have to undo the fuse cover four torx screws. It's
Under the bonnet on the left you then take the green relay out as Pedro says I think its blade number 56b get a screwdriver and push it flat then plug the relay back in job done

On some 850 T5s there's a small hole to the left of the light dimmer switch on the right of the dash. If you put a paper clip in there and push it may turn your running lights off.

On the V70 if you want them turned on a Volvo garage has to do it via a software switch, and if they don't have the software Volvo charge them £25 for it!!!
