to on/off DRL

put light switch to the Center position , (sidelights > Green LED ON)
Switch ignition key to position II (Drive, but Do Not start the engine)
Pull Main beam lever towards you and Hold it there,
Turn light switch to 0
release main beam lever

DRL should now be "OFF"

Tested, this doesn't work on 2001+ S60.

Won't work on the S60. You need to get a dealer to reprogram your CEM to disable the DRLs
