Wala ba sa London nyan?

Anyway sa US kasi ang napansin kong pinakamaaga doon ay 4:00pm may nakasindi na ng ilaw at marami rami sila (hindi lahat). Pagdating ng 5pm to 530pm 95% doon nakailaw na.

Napahangga nga ako sa standards nila at nagkaron ako ng impressio na basta ilang minutes bago mag takipsilim eh dapat naka headlights na.

As for the taillamp issues, I have a third brakelamp and all my taillamps are functioning.

The first DRLs were high beams not running on full voltage. Some newer systems use a bright amber lamp (mostly GM vehicles).

DRL's are not mandatory in the U.S. They are mandatory in Canada and Sweden.

Volvos can be set to run DRL's with a turn of a screwdriver. However, I still prefer turning the lights on manually.

well said..

and besides we dont know who amongst us motorists
na may mahinang kakayahan sa paningin,pandinig,pang amoy (pang amoy sa usok

) etc. etc,,so mahirap na better be safe than sorry sabi nga nila..
and its up to you nalang and on how safety could possibly saves your life and your vehicle
,,not the bulbs of your vehicle..

in my own opinion po..

Di pa naman required dito ang naka-DRL kaya lang yong mga Volvo cars ay fitted yata sila. Yong mga member sa isang UK forum, hate nila talaga yong mga naka DRL lalo na nga kung okey naman ang visibility.

Ang sa akin eh basta wala akong nasisilawan, wala akong pakialam

Mabuti nang makita nila ako at maiwasang tamaan.

Pwera na lang kung naiwang bukas yung ilaw kapag nakababa ka na ng kotse. Yan ang masama

Most cars dito sa US standard ang DRL like my 07 Corolla/Altis that I traded with an 07 Grand Vitara. Yung vitara ko may sensor sa dashboard for the automatic headlamps, pag madilim mag-auto-on ang headlamps, fog lamps and tail lights, then pag maliwanag na mag-DRL naman sya. Hindi naman nakakasilaw ang DRL kasi mas maliwanag pa ang low-beam kesa DRL. May option to put your head lamps to auto para sa mga makakalimutin mag on/off ng headlamps. During the day, DRL will be turned on pag binaba mo lang ang parking break mo at mag-off sya pag tinaas mo ulit and there is no option to disable it, but others are making a bypass to disable the DRL, ewan ko kung bakit ayaw nila ng DRL.

I guess that should be possible... but you will have to re-route your new DRL (previously your park lights) to a main power instead of the partlight switch. Then your double contacts will serve as your park lights. Its possible and it can be done. Find a good electrician.
