Ok, so i search around more and found that just have to pull the DRL "box" from in the fuse box and that's it. Is it really that easy?

Do you have high-beam or low-beam DRL? If you have high-beam DRL, don't bother.

There is a plug on the drivers side under the hood by the PCM and horn. Unplug. I think its easier to see if you take off the PCM cover

If you can't find it let me know and I can snap a pic for you

I do not have any pics with me buy it is easy remove the air box just to the right is the PCM cover remove the top of that now to the right there is a white connector disconnect that. I could not disconnect it from above so I removed the headlight and held the bottom of the connector then used my other hand to pull the other half from above.

to the OP, i did the same thing on my car. i also had a very hard time finding the connector. theres a ceramic block mounted inside the fender/near the pcm, follow the wire coming out of it and ull see the connector you need to unplug.
Hoping to return to an H-Body soon!
