I know that pushing the cabin lights switch 4 times turn off the DRL's but that state do not remain, every time you turn off the truck and back ok again, the DRL's come up and i need to push the magic button 4 times, that happened every time, is there a way to let the DRL's remain off ?
NEED HELP how to turn off DRL's forever

ohh, so the 4 button press procedure is just temporary, i want to add some Morimoto V2 LED bulbs, but i do not want to be on all the time , just when i flick the headlights on with the switch

There's no single correct way to disable the DRLs, that's why there are a few write ups from folks who did them differently.
You can also modify your lighting system with the 4 high mod (high and low beams on together when the stalk is pressed forward, just like flash-to-pass) or even 6 high, to include the fog lights if you have them on your truck.

Factory fog lights are controlled by the BCM via momentary button in the headlight switch assembly, so that's a difficult proposition since that would require reprogramming, or a BCM swap, plus the wiring. Aftermarket with your own custom switch would be easier/faster/cheaper. Also, the non fog light bumper doesn't have the factory mounts, so you'd have to make your own, or do a bumper swap.

I just learned something today. I can turn off the DRL with 4 presses of the interior light switch? Mine might be disabled though because, well, Canada.
I did the lancematic DRL killer mod three years ago. Still works fine. One thing I would recommend is to use a very small 12v relay, not the big 30a automotive relay commonly used.
You only need to switch a small control signal to the solid state relay in the fusebox.
I think a small transistor would could do the job too. Possibly even the added relay isn't even necessary - the on current for the solid state relay may be low enough that it should be possible to directly connect the indicator led power to the SSR on - maybe with a small current limiting resistor.

Adding LEDs are why I am here also..
Me too
What You can set it set there's a way to turn both your high beams and low beams on the same time? Where can I find these instructions?

Or just get the DRL to provide full time power to the headlights with the cap mod at the rear fuse panel. Its what I did on my Envoy with HID.
This is the specific reason I went to HID over the LED.
Remember, you living in PA this is kinda important. LED's provide no heat to keep your headlights defrosted/snow covered in the winter months.
