Do you keep your DRL's on?

I leave them on 100% of the time. I think they are cool looking, people notice you and they know the car is running with DRL.

Same here, but went with a switchback that turns to amber for the turn signals only.

I keep the DRLs on... for safety.

If it's raining I'll run the headlights...

Heads and fogs after dark.

Everyones are set to Auto when you start the car. You have to turn them off to disable them.


Run wth them on all the time. I'm sure it adds some factor of safety to daily driving.

I usually turn on my fog lamps when I'm not being too lazy to hit the button that turns off my amber lights, or at least dims them cause then I can't see them in the reflection of other cars. Never have bothered to get out and check. I need to set it up so my fog lamps outmaticaly come on, not sure if just jumping the swtich will work or if it's some logic program in the pcm.

they're on but since I have a 2k7 it's the normal headlights and not the turn signals that are used as the DRL's!

thats how its set,once e-brake goes up they turn off...u should have a switch where u turn the lights on and off,turn it back and it should tell u in the info center that the AUTO LIGHTS TURNED OFF
