Default DRL ???

I see alot of people wanting to disconnect their DRL`s... Can i just ask why? I`m only asking because I actually get a discount on my Ins For having DRL`s.. I`m just curious as to know why people are wanting to shut theirs off..I`m just thinking maybe sum just didnt know about the discount you can get, thru your ins.. I have state farm...

Thanks guys.

For some, it is because of the way that the DRLs work and if you have HID headlamps (aftermarket). HID bulbs do not take kindly to being shut on and off a lot like can sometimes happen when using your turn signals on some of the s-series trucks with DRLs.

Hand is fine. The bin is still a mess at my dad's. Me on the other hand... I am getting over a cold and talking to a surgeon tomorrow to remove my gall bladder...[&o] I was in the emergency room 3 weeks ago and in pain ever since. The doctors concluded that my gall bladder needs to be removed to get rid of the pain in my side. Fun fun.

I get the HID reasoning behind the disabling the DRLs...but what I don't understand is all the people that think they are blinding and amazingly obstructing to other motorists...such as the people at DADRL...drivers against daytime running lights...I mean...of all the causes out there...DRLs?

Everyone knows that you can turn off the day time running lights by pushing the dome override button three times right.

one note: voila not walla/walah/wala/walaa

In other news, the bigger problem with HIDs is the auto headlights. AHLs means the headlights get a spike of voltage when the engine starts. No good for HIDs.
