Yea I'm curious too as to what would happen if i unplug the sensor..hmm..

 

Just to add some of my input.. At first, I hated driving around in the daytime with the headlights on. Before I had my SS, I hated driver's that would drive in the middle of July with their headlights on. But after a couple of months, I have adjusted to it. In fact, I love the DRL. I also deliver pizza's 5 days a week. When your working against a clock, every second counts, especially when the goods come out the oven. Instead of having to switch on the headlights in foggy or dark conditions, I just have to flip on the fog lights. It is normal to see almost sixty-seventy percent(my figures) of cars with their lights on now a days in my area, even during bright sunny days of summer. So for me, I can only see deactivating the DRL for a car show/cruise. Plus for me, its on less thing to worry about when darkness is approaching. I guess I am liking the technology that has come within the last decade. (Off Topic) I just built a stroked Pontiac 400. It is sitting at 488 cid with fully forged internals and a decent camshaft devoted to low end torque production. The heads were rebuilt and hand ported by myself. This engine should make close to 400hp and well over 550 ft/lbs. I have only about $3500 into this engine but I have done all the machine work myself. With a decent built LNF and turbo, I should match close to the power levels of my stroked 400 and get a lot better mpg. But, the DRL gets a A+ in my book.

X 2......... I agree 100%,
now if they would just see me on the bike more often, & I use the Hi-Beam daytime also..

 

Ever since I owned my first dark shaded car, I ran with my headlights on. I'd rather waste a little gas than hit some fool who is not paying enough attention to traffic.

Now that my HHR is black, I am happy that the car handles the lights for me.

 

I am of the opion that ALL new cars shold have daytrime running lights. So many times I have seen grey cars on a grey road on a grey day and you just can not see them.

 

I used to drive grey cars on grey roads on grey days...... (Seriously, my '79 Impala and '84 Camaro were both grey) Long before DRL I was using my headlights during the day because people would pull right out in front of me without them on.

 

funny, I just removed the fuses for my drl's as well(there is a small fuse and a block type fuse both marked drl) and I have seen no difference...maybe cuz it's a dark day and the auto headlight has kicked in? does kinda look like regular beams as opposed to the lighter, drl beam.

I would much prefer to drive with the amber park lights than the drl feature.

 

I also prefer the amber parking lights to the headlights...of course at night, I have several drivers flash their brights at me when my fog lights are off and I have just the low beams on.

I would have no problem with DRL's if we could somehow get folks to stop using their $#@%^ high beams in town, or when heading towards you...

 

It makes you only able to take left turns...

 

Crap, I take left turns every Thursday...
