If you wanted to be inconspicuous, you should have gotten a Corolla - they are practically invisible on the road (except maybe a red one) - lol.

Seriously, I would see if the maintenance manual shows a wiring diagram that would point you the right direction (or go ask the service department).

But you will still not be too inconspicuous - you will usually be the only Kizashi on the road, and the black grill with the chrome "S" stands out (unless you black that out if you have not already done so).

My "S" has been blacked out since I got my car in Jan , and you're right there's not many Kizashi's in my Area of NJ..I only seen 2 more on the road...but the Kizashi is more unique from the REAR cause of it's tailpipes...from the front, if I blend in more with traffic, with my lights off then it'll work out better.

Unfortunately, unless you are parked and apply the parking break the daytime running lights will be on...

Sounds like a possible circuit to tap into...

You could always drive around with your parking brake engaged.

You may be more conspicuous by not running the drl's. Most cars on the road these days have them, and very few have the ability to override them.

My old Saturns had a relay in the underhood fuse box that could be removed to disable the DRL's. You needed to insert a jumper wire between two of the pins to make the high beams work properly, though.

Alldata http://www.alldatadiy.com has a very good set of online manuals. You can print and procedures and illustrations from them. The consumer price is around $25/year. This is the same source that many dealerships use for their shop manuals.

I'd suggest being inconspicuous in a minivan or something, not a car that is rare on today's roads. I hope you didn't get your Kizashi in red

A real Kizashi fan! You needed a car with no DRLs for your work but you still bought the Kizashi.

Chech the fuses , there appear to be 6 different ones marked for headlights. Pull them one at a time and see if one is the DRLs. Worse case scenario just un-plug the high beams at the bulbs. Don't really need them much anyway.
