Thanks... now if i pull the wrong relay and start my car... will that screw up anything?

You can't pull the wrong relay. The relay is a double relay meaning it is twice as wide as the rest of the relays. You will need to pull it firmly. Don't worry - you can't break anything except your back getting under the dash. The relay tray is above the brake/clutch pedals.

It took less than 60 seconds to take mine out.
Easy to put it back on too.

Ohay, is the relay tray above the fuse panel to the left of the pedals? If so which relay do I pull? There are two (from what I can see) relays that are twice as long (is this what is meant by twice as wide?) as the rest. A pic would be awesome. So would a beer!

It was installed on the passenger side, next to the battery,
spliced and attached to 4 wires, from a bundled group of
wires.
I can throw it in the car and show it to you next time I see you.

Okay pulled the RELAY. its the BIG ONE, Top left Corner, white sticker with a black arrow on it... Well it did the job, but more... Rear Licence Plate Light does not come on at all & High Beams only work when you Hold it Pulled.. If you Push, Xenons go out and High Beam Halogens Stay On... Also i dont know it this is related at alll, my Radio turned on by its self after it turned of automatically....

i have a thought... What if we switch the "Relay" from a US Car to a Canadian Car? will that fix the DRL Issue without causing thses side effect?

zookie,
I'm still wondering why you want to lose the DRLs? These cars are so small compared to the rest of the land yachts out there that any extra visibility is good imho.
