I guess I was brought up old school style and when you drive through a short underpass or an area with lots of dense trees around the road then you manually turned on your lights to make it safe instead of letting the car keep them on all the time. Argh.

Hopefully none of the absent-minded DRL people are on here. Has anyone else noticed these folks on the road and how they expect their DRL to automatically change to normal headlights when it is dark or when their wipers are on?

One other reason I don't like the DRL always on is that I can't park with the Parking Lights on and wait for someone - the headlights are always on and sometimes I just want to have the Parking Lights on. There is a way around all this (like my wife's VW where the Parking Brake has to be on and you have to be in Park and then the headlights are off) but the parking lights aren't able to be turned on without the headlights. I just pulled the DRL fuse and use the manual operation of my left hand when I need or don't need lights. =)
