Taking out the DRL fuse.

So I decided I didn't want my DRL's on anymore, so I went into the engine compartment fuse box and pulled the 'DRL' fuse. They are still on... am I missing something stupid here...?

No that's the temperature sensor, light sensor is on the dash.

In the 4 cobalts that I've installed hids in I've never had an issue with pulling the drl fuse not actually disabling the drls. Also make sure it's not dark enough where your working for the auto lights to come on, there is a difference.

^This.....I always get confused about this for some reason and equate my DRLs to autolights....no idea why. Yes, i pulled my DRL fuse, and yes it disabled them. All i do is run my foglights/ambers as my "DRLs". Autolights will most definitely still work and like stated, that could be where the confusion comes into play if it's dark enough that they're coming on
