Re: running lights

ricka- I dunno...I've had plenty of high-mile vehicles that never had any lights burn out; doesn't seem like a big worry to me.

I wonder about the legality of disabling factory DRL systems

I figure people want to turn them off because they look stupid...and I agree that they often do.

But I also think that they probably *do* make vehicles easier to notice, and a lot of dummies fail to turn on any lights when conditions make their vehicles hard to see, so I guess they're not a bad idea.

Heh heh, the same people who don't turn their lights on when they oughta are often the same people who turn their *foglights* on when it's not foggy..because they think it looks cool
