Charles, I like the idea of disabling DLR. Only our 2006 Corolla has DRL and both bulbs are good at 95000 miles. They burn at a lower intensity than headlights, so that may account for the longevity. I'm told the heat of the bulbs contributes to the yellowing of the plastic lenses, so it'd be nice to get rid of the feature for that. May look for a Fuse or two...
I'm also Old School about headlights off when approaching the sentries at military bases. Can't do that in the Corolla. So many cars have DRL now that the signs "Dim Lights for Sentry" are no longer in place...
