Can they? Most likely.
Will they? No.
I asked two dealerships in Ontario and one in New Brunswick to turn mine off and they all said no. They were unclear on the law and didn't want to deactivate a feature that may have been a legal requirement. I eventually bought a ProCAL to turn mine off/

here is my problem
I have HIDs and on the DRLS the lights flicker because the DRLS run on
lower amps then the lights turned on full. so i want them to just disable
the lights so they dont flicker and also it is bad for the ballast to run like
that (damage them).
so i was thinking
1. turn off the DRLs elimanting the flickering
or
2. Is there anyway that they can turn the lights on fully all the time
so then lights wont flicker
any help would be great
thanks sinkic

Well, we've been asking Superchips to add a feature for setting fogs or parking lights as DRLs. Then you can run HIDs without worrying about the DRLs. It's been almost ten months now. All they say is it's been passed to the engineers. So far nothing has been added. Let's hope one day they'll come around to it, but I'd personally given up on that pipe dream.

The daylight feature was only one of many hundreds in the list... it took about 1 min. to activate.

Also it isn't a matter of low amps, the DRLs are run with a Pulse width modulation signal.
