Hi all.
Found this procedure in the service manual today.
May be helpful since I've seen people ask this question during my lurking habits.

EDIT * Just saw this was already posted in the How-to section*

  1. Apply Parking brake
  2. Turn ignition to ON. ENGINE OFF so all dash lights come on.
  3. Make sure headlight switch is to the OFF position, also make sure Hazards are off(duh)
  4. Depress brake pedal the entire procedure. Just firm enough to keep brake lights on.
  5. Within 2 seconds of pushing brake pedal turn the headlight switch from OFF to parking lights aka TNS(Turn and signal) 5 times remaining in the OFF position.
  6. Within 2 seconds of Off-TNS 5x - Turn on the hazards switch 5 times ending with hazards off.
  7. Within 2 seconds turn the headlight switch from OFF to parking lights aka TNS(Turn and signal) 5 times remaining in the OFF position.

This entire procedure must be completed in 23 seconds otherwise you have to restart by performing a key cycle. (OFF - ON)

I assume no legal consequences from enabling or disabling DRLs or following this procedure. Enjoy.

I have tried doing that procedure many times with no luck. I just pulled the DRL fuse and all fixed with no frustrations.
