Disabling Automatic Headlights - 2000 Suzuki Esteem

Hey all, as my signature says I'm mechanically incompetent. Anything I've ever been able to accomplish was because I lucked out and found a video on Youtube that took me step by step through it so please be gentle with what may be a dumb question I'm going to ask.

Basically I'm having Alternator problems on my 2000 Suzuki Esteem and being unemployed I can't afford to get my car fixed right now so I'm just charging the battery with my friend's car battery charger and then using it for the basic necessities like going for groceries and such. But my car is one of the ones with automatic headlights that turn on the moment I start the car, I can't turn them off. So I was wondering if I remove the fuses for the headlights (and obviously only drive during the day) will that disable them and not be dangerous to my car's electrical system?

Or, in lieu thereof if anyone can suggest a better solution (keeping in mind I'm too poor to do the right thing and have it fixed, lol) that'd be appreciated.

Thanks for your time.

You could just unplug the lights, I wouldn't recommend it but.....Anyway I know how hard times feel but you know it will get better. Stay safe.

Look for a fuse labeled "DRL" (Daytime running lights)
