Any Mazda techs here? Trying to turn off my DRL's, PITA that headlights are on with halos. I was going to pull the DRL relay but there isn't one! Is there any software or other method to turn them off.
Any info would be greatly appreciated.

 

Is there a specific reason you're trying to disable them? If you are parked and turn on the parking brake (E-Brake), it will turn the DRL lights off. The car also turns them off in traffic when you are stopped after a few seconds and turns them back on once you are moving again.

 

If halos were only on I wouldn't mind. Dam headlights cost a fortune to replace from what I have read. if it was the case of just replacing a bulb when needed I wouldn't mind.

 

The DRLs can look like the headlights are on due to their brightness, but the headlights should only actually be turned on if you manually do it with the switch or if you leave it on auto and the car detects that it's dark out.

 

Thanks, I will have my wife look when I have car in motion. I'm looking at reflection in garage and it may only be the DRL'S.

 

Confirmed headlight is on when in "off" or "auto" position when daytime driving.

 

I'm not sure if the Signature trim applies, but on certain models it can be found here:
Settings → Vehicle Settings → Exterior Lighting → Daytime Running Lights → Enable, Disable
