How to turn off the running lights (Scandinavian light) Nissan Patrol 2002

What is "Scandinavian light", or daytime running lights

 

The rule of headlights on during the day was one of the first to be introduced in the Scandinavian countries. Over time, accident reduction statistics have shown that this is an effective method of drawing attention to cars on the road and other countries have begun to introduce this rule. After that, the legislation obliges drivers to drive with their lights on. Car manufacturers, in turn, at the legislative level, must ensure that on all cars, without exception, the dipped beam headlights are turned on automatically when the car is moving.

But in some countries, this rule does not apply, or only applies for a certain period of time. Therefore, in order to save the car's headlights from excessive use of light, fuel and excessive load on the generator, we offer this article - instructions for turning off automatic daytime running lights on a 2003 Nissan Patrol.
