Default Daytime Running Lights delete?

I'm not a fan of the dull glow of the DRL's (or see much use for them as a safety deal), so I'm wanting to turn them off. In my RDX, I just pulled the fuse for the DRL's, and have never had them since. I pulled what I thought was the fuse for the S2K last night, but noticed that they were still on today? What gives? Anyone have any suggestions? (or know where the fuse is located for sure)
Thanks!

On second thought, I just got back from lunch, and noticed that it looks like an airbag notice light is now on my dash, so I'm guessing that I pulled that fuse instead of the DRL. I thought I had the correct location for the fuse, but apparently not. The manual shows the interior fuse box being located under a panel below and to the left of the steering column, but when I removed the panel, I didn't see anything under there (instead I found a series of fuses further back under the dash, but there was not a panel covering them). Anyone know where the correct interior fuse box with the DRL is located?

The fuse is located under the drivers side dash (uncovered). According to the manual, it's fuse #14.....look at the manual for the location of that fuse. I pulled mine when I got the car - only problem is "DRL" will be lit up on your dash all the time, which can get a little annoying.

Thanks! I went back under there last night (what a contortion act to bend your body to look under there!!!), and found the correct fuse. The DRL on the dash isn't too bad, guess I'd rather have that then the DRL's on all the time!

I don't get it. Glad I got DRL's but it is nice to know where the fuse is located in case it ever needs to be replaced.

yea i dont get it either. Its not like you can see the output of the drl during the day. And when you can start seeing the drl's its time to turn your lights on. I dont know i would rather see the drl's rather than that annoying DRL cluster light
