    i think the person involved is PMing me directly, but i thought i'd post this up anyway

    1994 Volvo 850
    1. Take off the fusebox cover (4-no. T25 screws). It is located under the
    bonnet right by the RH side of the windscreen.
    2. Pull out the headlamp relay. It's the largest one, coloured green, that fits
    into a double socket.
    3. Prise off the relay cover. This can be awkward since it is a snap- fit with
    four tongues of plastic that must all be disengaged simultaneously.
    4. Find the pin marked '56b'. It's a 1/4" tab, and is connected via two loops
    of thick wire to other pins marked '56bL' and '56bR'. (These other pins
    lead to the headlamp dipped filaments, and the loops of wire are part of
    the 'lamp fail' warning system - don't damage them in what you are
    about to do.)
    5. Carefully lever up the connection to pin 56b and cut it.
    6. Push the severed connection back towards the base of the relay and
    move it to one side so the connection to pin 56b remains broken. It
    could then be reinstated at a later date if required.
    7. Refit the relay cover, plug in the relay (it will only go in one way round),
    and refit the fusebox cover.
