QuestionHow does the "Daytime Running Lights" on a 2001 Volkswagon Jetta operate? Can the "Daytime Running Lights" be turned off manually?
AnswerYou need to replace your light switch with a "euroswitch". Here is a link to a site explaining it:

It's for a Passat, but if you follow the instructions for disabling them at the switch, it should work.

PS- If the link dies, please let me know.
PPS- Also, make sure you get a good euroswitch. There are a lot of knockoffs out there, especially on ebay. Check the groupbuy section on passatworld.com or vwvortex.com
