I've had people driving in front of me asking why I was flashing my lights at them during the daytime.

Any thoughts? Is there a light sensor on these, or something similar?

Much appreciated,

well if you haven't just started cutting wires your head lights should work like this:

you have day time running lights or DRL's, they should always been on unless you have them off the e-brake on and start the car up, that is the only condition that they should ever be off. what your doing on teh freeway was simply switching from high beams to low beams, so yeas you were flashing everyone on the freeway.

the only difference in DRL's and your low beams is the dash becomes illuminated and slightly higher out put from the low beams.


if this is annoying you go to the general faq and look for the DRL mod, with a few simple clips of a wire and about 10 mins later you should be able to operate your head lights as your used to.
this can also be good for saving you a bit of money on head lights as they will burn out faster with your DRL's running the whole time.


hope this helps.
