I am not sure if i post this at the wrong department, but I think this post should belong to here.
To Mod, If possible, please close the exact same one in the Mechanical department for me.
Thank you.
Hey Guyz,
I have been done 2 months of researches to finally take out my courage and do it. (refer to Disable DRL)
I took my step by step photographic on this matter and I would love to share this with everyone that want to do this.

1. Perpare tools, it requires "Electrical Tape, Wire Cutter, Flash Light, Solder Gun & Solder"

2. Go into your car and located the Bottom Glove Box

5. Pull this Lever outward to open up the Glove Box a bit more

6. Push both side of the Glove Box to let it slide out

7. After this step, you will be able to see the inside of the componment

8. Look to your right side of the componment, you will see the connector.
You would want to "pull" this out, this would require you to push in the middle part and use a little force and pull it out.
9. Once you pull it out, you will see alot of wire and you want to located #12 wire.
Here is the diagram of how the wires are layout

01 and 02 are the large wire
#12 are the blue wire. From the above image, you can see that I had cut that wire and use the electrical tape and tape it up. *note* Don't cut the wire too short, in case in the future you would want to re-connect.
There, now You have disable your DRL and auto Amb. light sensor system.
Here are ways to know if you did it correctly. Just turn the light from off to low beam to high beam.

Car is on, and no light

Just the side light and back light are on

Low Beam On

High Beam On
There, now you have it. Now you can control your headlight without the Auto Sensor controlling it for you.
Now my car is ready for install HID Kit, I am now starting to do research on how to install the HID myself, if at the end, I don't feel too comfortable to do it myself, then I will bring it to other. But for sure will post step by step again on how to do the Installation on the HID Kit.
Thank you for reading.
PS. I also want to give credit to some of the peoples that I had read off their post and information.
