From what i understand on Ford DRL's you can't.

Certainly not on the new ST 2013 plate.

I have a Titty X and no, they can't be turned off, even by fuse-plucking.

DRL are now a legal requirement on all new models from early 2012, so no they can't be turned off.

The front dose look good and the running lights do seem less annoying than some other cars, I'd still like the option to turn them off though, but it seems that will never be.

They are the standard ones with the inner surrounds painted black. Pre-production models of the fiesta st had them but ford were too tight to make a lamp specific to the st so just put same lamps as the titanium in the production st models.

I prefer the dark headlamp look myself so had to do something about it.

How do you do that? Was it a DIY job or did you take it somewhere. Love the look of them

Do you still get the reflectors being lit by the backlight of the LEDs? I always thought that made the car look a bit better.
