It's not happenning with the DRLs on my 2006 Forester. They are wasting gas, and I want them out. Other than using a brick, does anyone know how to put them out? The procedure seems to vary by Subaru model and year.

Could you be more clear, please?

 

Are you saying that your Daytime Running Lights are wasting gas? In what way are they doing that? Have you checked other reasons that you may be getting poorer milage than you expect? I cannot see DRLs impacting milage significantly under any conditions, but I do know that they add significantly to the safety of the car by making you more visable.

Do a search please. Thread is being closed because its been covered ALOT in the past and its known to cause a big debate on safety, insurance precautions, whether or not its legal (you are disabling a safety related item), etc.

 

BTW: Focus on something else your gas mileage isn't dropping a significant amount.
