thanks, but i just decided to live with it. besides... how many people have purple DRLs?

i tried pulling the relay & the fuse. both times, it turned my headlights on instead. it was GM's first truck with dedicated DRL lamps (as opposed to using the low-beams like in the 96-00) they apparently wanted to make sure some light was gonna be on. (i heard there were legal issues with people not turning on their lights at night because the lows were already on, and they ended up getting rear-ended)

thanks for the suggestion & yes, the switch works, but like i said...
