Re: Daytime Running Lights

Thankfully I DID receive one useful reply by contacting this group, so I
replaced my module and they are working just fine. The gentleman responded

to the
question by email. I found it interesting how the other responders got off
onto any odd tangent to the question. The wear and tear on your
headlights? - rather silly notion compared to your life. By the way, I
just
upgraded my original lights with Hella lights because I wanted better 
headlights, but
the original lights were working perfectly. And yes, I am sure that they 
were the original
headlights. Perhaps the rest of the world actually is wrong, but the US is
probably the only developed country that does not require Daytime Running
Lights due to the added safety. DRL's cause an immediate and substantial
reduction in traffic accidents - period. But wow, maybe it really is just
another government conspiracy.
