Ok, For anyone who has been tired of driving around in broad daylight with your headlamps, tail-lamps, running lamps, and instrument lights on. I now have the solution to rid yourself and your brick from DRL's. As Art suggested the grey wire going to position number 5 on the headlamp switch will indeed turn off your headlamps. Unfortunately, the running lamps, tail-lamps, and instrument lights will STILL be on. The Headlamp switch itself is bridged in some way. Anyway, I decided to compare the headlamp switch from my 91 with DRL's to a spare switch I had lying about from an 87. As I suspected, the older switch has fewer spades than the newer switch. So, all that one needs to do to get rid of the DRL's is to install an older headlamp switch (pre-DRL's) on your DRL car. Since there are fewer spades on the old switch there is no way for power to get to the Headlamps, Running Lamps, Tail-Lamps and Instrument lamps when the switch is in the OFF position. With the older pre-DRL headlamp switch installed you will now have control of your car again, and can decide for yourself when you want to be lit up. The DRL's should be left for Motorcyclists so they will stand out from the crowd. When I retire and move to Canada I can put my DRL headlamp switch back in and be good to go. Hope this helps someone :)
