I had a problem with my headlights staying on after turning off the engine so I was told I needed the DRL's replaced. So I found a page online that showed how to disable the DRL control. So I unplugged it and that turned them off but now they will not come on.

Hello,

The headlights and DRL's work together so you need to fix the problem. Here is a guide and some diagrams so you can do some easy testing:

It could be the relay sticking on or the DRL control module needs to be replaced.

Please let us know what happens.
