Having read through the whole service manual I didn't find any way of getting to that mode either. However did find a way of turning the DRL's off for those who want to add LED's without messing their high beam lights.
)Push engine switch to change the ignition mode to “ON”.
2)Perform Steps a) through f) described below within 15 seconds after Step 1).
a)Turn lighting switch to CLEARANCE position.
b)Turn lighting switch to OFF position.
c)Repeat Steps a) and b) 4 times.
d)Turn lighting switch to HEAD position.
e)Turn lighting switch to OFF position.
f)Repeat Steps d) and e) 4 times.
3)When Step 2) is completed, the mode changes automatically. Warning buzzer (in combination meter) sounds by the specified number for each mode as follows.
•Changed from “Non-operable” mode to “Operable” mode: Buzzer sounds twice.
•Changed from “Operable” mode to “Non-operable” mode: Buzzer sounds once.
4)After confirming buzzer, push engine switch to change the ignition mode to “OFF”.
I guess this needs to go in DIY section too.

Not sure why Suzuki couldn't put this in the control menu in the dash display but did so for controlling the footwell lights to come on with headlights.Woodie wrote:Here you go, it was posted by xj85:

Keep us posted on whether this actually works.

Thanks! I also found it in the owner's manual (which I should've looked at before posting
).
It's on page 2-85 if anyone else is interested. I've attached that page to this post

It's not difficult - a standard "HD headlight harness" has all the wiring you need already done. All you need to do is feed it switched power (or runt o a switch) to throw the relay.

Hi Binary,binarycow wrote:Pittsburghjoe, I might be able to deal with the stock DRLs staying on, if I could wire the LEDs to be always on. How did you do it? Keep in mind I'm totally NOT a car guy or an electrical guy.

I'm working all day today but I can open the hood and take a pic tomorrow. It was pretty simple and I'm not a big electrical guy either. If you don't see a pic by tomorrow night feel free to message me direct and pester me until I do it. I'm excited to try the ridiculously long and complicated method of getting the stock DRLs off without disabling the high beams. I hope it works.
