quoting:  "Push your lightswitch knob in, then turn itabout 1/4"-3/8" to the 
right, this will pull the tabs in on the back ofthe switch, then pull on the 
knob..the entire switch should slide out.Once you have the switch out 
disconnect the harness on the back of theswitch, once you do this look on the inside 
the back of thelightswitch, you'll see a bunch of copper pins. Each pin has 
adesignation above it, each obviously for a different function. Look forthe pin 
labled "TFL", this is the one for your daytime running lights.Once you've 
located this pin place a small piece of electrical tape onit, one that will fold 
over the front of the pin...so if you put thetape on the bottom half you'll be 
able to fold it over the tophalf...once you see it you'll know what I mean... 
It's tight in therethough, some tweezers or something thin will help. You want 
to makesure that you have a tiny bit of overlap on the sides of the pin too,to 
completely wrap around the pin...this way there's less chance of anykind of 
short, even though it's unlikely. Make sense?"
