Just curious, what don't you like about DRLs?

And what don't you like about automatic headlights?

I just don't like the lights on all the time (DRL)... even at reduced intensity.. Maybe I just want to save light-bulbs? Maybe I just want "control"?

As far as Auto-headlamps--I like them! But if I need to disable them to make the DRL's non-functional, it's OK...

Just a little quirk I have, I guess...

Sorry if my question peeved you, as I stated I was just curious. Maybe I shouldn't have asked.

I also like the auto-lights function.

The DRL thing is part "control," part "wake up and pay attention" (for other drivers), and part "anti light pollution."

I don't like that we have to have lights on because other drivers are too stupid or too distracted to pay attention to the other cars on the highway. What's next? Full-time Horn Blowing?

Light pollution is another picky thing, I know. Your eyes are naturally drawn to light (yes, I know that's why DRLs work for stupid drivers). When I'm on a scenic road, say in the mountains, forest, etc., the scenary is spoiled by on-coming cars with DRLs. I know how picky this is, but...

The auto function works fine with the DRL fuse pulled.

I like drls, I just dont like the varied voltage, makes it more difficult to do full hid retrofits. :)

So the .2 volts isn't enough to run the HIDs during DLR operation?
