Why, you don't like to be extra visible to other drivers like more close calls?

I was also wondering why the OP would want to turn them off, when they’re there to increase your car’s visibility to others.
Day time running lights aren't for your benefit, it's for everyone else around you...
there are lots of folks driving 2 ton vehicles that should not be driving. Do what you want but in the don't do this camp.
or you could just tint the heck out of them.......
You can add the DRL option in your MIB menu via OBD11 or VCDS. I believe you can then turn them on or off within MIB (too lazy to wander out to garage right now to confim, will do so in the morning if no one else has spoken up by then).
Here's the coding to add DRL option in MIB menu:
DRL Option in MIB menU
09 - Central Electrics
Adaptation - 10
(2)-Daytime Running Lights
Tagfahrlicht Aktivierung durch BAP oder Bedienfolge moeglich
Default: Nicht aktiv (Not Active) Change to: Aktiv (Active)
Problem with studies is the investigator has a premise in this case drl is safer and will only report the data to support their viewpoint. If there is contradictory analysis they don't report it. That's why one day coffee is good for you and the next day it is bad. You can see it with climate stuff. 97% only agree that the earth is warming but there is no 97% on the reason why but you wouldn't know that listening to msmI'll third why disable them. Even before DRL's I turned on my headlights. I can tell you for a fact it saved me many times from someone pulling out in front of me from a stop sign. Especially young and old drivers. There's plenty of studies to support it, and I'm betting insurance company lawyers know it too. I don't think they would have much trouble arguing you are partially at fault for an accident for disabling a safety feature. Depending on your state, it can mean getting a partial settlement or even no settlement. I was on a jury that found a plaintiff 50% responsible for an accident for merely slowing down coming up a red light by downshifting to first gear, and not using his brake lights. He gave no warning he was stopping. You youngsters will think that's crazy, but lawyers will exploit every regulation to convince a jury you're at least partially at fault.
