V70 D5 S

how do you remove the day running lights. Is there a relay that can be
removed as a temporary measure without affecting other lights or
equipment

 

It depends on your car's model year and what country it was built for.

For at least some model years in the US, there is a small slot
screwhead near the light switch; when rotated to a certain position it
disables the daytime running lights. For places where DRLs are
mandated by law, no such screw exists (but Canadian and US cars get
the same manual, which is how I know of it).

Others can tell you whether there is a simple answer if your car
doesn't have this screw.

On the 850 I removed the pins 5 and 8 on the switch, worked flawlessly

 

Thanks to Chip C but I looked around the switch area and can,t see
anything extra.mind you it says in the Uk Users Manual 'Go to a
dealer' for this.
Perhaps it has to be programmed these days. I was hoping for something
less painful!
Also Sveins switch mod sounds more hopeful, but more time needed here
to do it !! Any other ideas anyone ??

 

Still Hoping !

You have to go to the dealer, and he has to connect the car to the vadis
system to turn the running day light off.
