Not sure if Bully Dog will do an 05 or not and I would thing that the Dealer would not do it in Canada since that is a law to have them and all.

You may have to come to the US to get it done.

I dont think the dealer will do it here in Canada because its a Law
I only think the bullydog will do it on the 06 and newer ones
Headlights on the 05 are not controlled buy the computer.
thats what I thought I could just pull a fuze or a Relay

If you are in an accident and the insurance company finds out that the DRL's were disabled you may not have any insurance - be careful.

There should be a DRL module somewhere, I haven't looked for it on my 05, but on my 2000 it was mounted on the drivers side fender, and I had a dakota that was also on the drivers side fender. Just unplug that and bye bye daytime running lights. Only problem I had with that was for some reason it was tied into the high beam indicator light. If the module was disconnected, the high beam indicator light would not work.

Disabled mine using DRB3. Had to change the country to Canada to allow access to the feature to enable/disable. Disabled changed back to USA good to go.
