I hate DRLs. I think cars with their headlights on all the time look dumb, but that's just me. It takes away from the look of the car.

HOW TO: Install DRL In Your Accord

1) Locate turn signal stalk on the left side of the steering column
2) Turn headlight switch to "headlights"
3) Drive

I'm just asking if it's possible you don't have to be a dick.

Umm no, you make a copy of the reciept of the kit you bought for the DRL conversion. I guess me reporting my alarm I had was BS too uh?

That is what a DRL is, usually a high beam at a low wattage running constantly till the headlights are turned on.

Like the IS300's etc..

98Coupe- Manually turning the headlights to on, turns all the lights on, including the brake lights obviously.....and so if you want true DRL's... you only want the front high beams with low power.

I know my moms 2001 Camry with DRL's.... they operate to ON a few secs after the emergency brake is released, and stay on until either the Headlight switch is manually turned to ON, or the light sensor senses dark, which auto turns the headlights on. Gotta love auto on/off lights.

I know u know how DRL's operate, but im just stating turning the headlights to ON, does not do quite the same thing.

of course you do f00, all cars since 95 have them (in canada)



the only thing you need is a single relay. I;ve seen them at auto parts stores for like $25. The bulbs are the same.

I read a study that DRL reduce day time accidents by a VERY impressive margin.....and that was just including DRLs that were no brighter than parking lights.....for those that used standard 9005s/9006s.....heh, a lot better even
