Default Re: Quick question re: DRL's

I bit the bullet and re-clamped the wire to the headlight wire tonight. The DRLs were just that little bit too bright with the headlights at night, I didn't want to attract too much defect attention (my windows are also tinted too dark to be legal) so now when I turn my headlights on, the DRLs go out altogether.

Might look into some sort of relay system that will dim them instead of extinguishing them so I can keep them on at night without them being stupid bright.

And by "Stupid bright" I mean at night, they're just that little bit blinding if you cop them in your eyes at the right angle. In the following photo, there are NO lights active other than the DRLs.



Add the headlights to the mix and you can imagine why I decided that it was better for them to go out at night time!
