1997 and later Honda/Acura. To disable the highbeam DRL for all Hondas/Acuras 1997 model year or later, just look for the DRL fuse in the fuse box under the dash. It should be a 7.5A fuse. There is another one that is 10A, but it doesn't need to be removed. This worked for both my 1997 Honda CRV Canadian version and 2004 Acura RSX
You sure you're not pulling the wrong one?

DRL = Daytime running lights. low voltage to headlights at all times for safety reasons.

I am also looking to disable it actually, but have not tried anything yet.
