Just wondering, how many would order the DRL if it was an option in the US.

Hope it works, at $40 some odd bucks that'll be the biggest bang for my buck accessory put on my truck.bongus said:Hello Whaleya, I just bought the Hamsar DRL module they recommended for the Ridgeline. I should have the part this week so I can work on it during the weekend. I will post pictures on the results (positive or negative).
FYI, if the DRL is setup correctly, the intensity of the light should be reduced. A reduction in intensity will not only keep from "blinding" the cars in front of you but it will also keep your bulbs from burnning out quicker. BTW, I jsut received my Hamsar module today...I'm looking at the instruction diagram. I must say the install is not very clear. I will need to identify certain wires in the RL before I start anything.The Great Tristano said:...it's extremely obnoxious when people blind you with their daytime running lights.![]()

Auto on would be great! I won't have DRL though unless it's forced on me. And judging from the poll, I would say the forum is pretty evenly split on that.nwdiver said:It seems around here that cars with DRL's introduce another stupid factor in many drivers--they don't turn their headlights on at night so they're not visible from behind. If they mandate drls then maybe auto-on headlights will be standard too. I could live with that.
It's a Suzuki SUV. Ran great, just wasn't big enough. Sold my ole Ranger and traded the SUV in on the Ridge and never looked back.shovelhd said:What's an XL-7?

That's the law here too. I just turn them on. Not sure what the big deal is!maybearidge said:I like it because it stops you from getting tickets when it is raining-we have the wipers on lights on law. The cops love to nail you for that around here
The big deal...which may not be big for some...is leaving you lights on will burn out your bulbs faster. The advantage of the DRLs is it is designed to reduce the intensity of the bulb so that your bulbs will last longer compared to just leaving your lights on.swampler said:That's the law here too.
