Some of us are a little more self reliant and can turn the headlamps on
ourselves. And may of the new cars without DRL's, you can leave the
headlamps on all the time, they will shut off when you exit the car, and
come back on when you enter.

Or maybe no be so complacent assuming everyone has DRL's (this is a
system and it can fail while driving and the owner not even know about
it) so what this means is the DRL's are great, but if they fail, you
could be killed because drivers in Canada don't look for cars, just
headlamps. Down here, we look for cars instead. My suggestion to you is
to always look for cars, not lights, it will serve you well everywhere.

I assume the DRLs are disabled due to their vintage. Since the DRLs have
required in Canada for over a decade when you see a recent model with no
DRLs it is a good indication they've been disabled. It is possible they've
failed
or possible it is a US vehicle with Canadian plates but not so likely.

Complacent?
Assuming DRLs?
Did you read my post?

My complaint was pretty much that there are guys driving in the dark
with no lights and the DRLs would have helped compensate for their
poor judgement had they not disabled them.

MDT Tech is right. Open your eyes.

 


Your complaint is silly. No more than they used to. It is YOUR
responsibility to keep the corners of your car out where they are supposed
to be.

 


You exhibit poor judgement in expecting mechanical devices to substitute
for YOUR good sense and awareness.

Well then I assume you are a poor driver since you need to see lights
before you recognize that a car is nearby.

I'd hate to see what you do behind one of those many vehicles and trailers
with non-functioning brake lights. If you exercised more caution, you could
stop rear-ending people.

If your headlights switch ON automatically in a dark garage shortly
after engine startup, then you have Twilight Sentinel and the photo
sensor IS that dark lense cover, you call a "plug." With a bright,
focused flashlight aimed thru the windshield directly at the dark
lens, you can see the little coiled photo cell below the lens.

It is difficult to explain the difference in lower latitude ambient
lighting to a far northerner. I've tried. You're all uneducable on
the subject.
