Re: Reasons for turning DRLs off ? V70-XC70 2001

posted by  someone claiming to be Ron on  Fri May 18 06:04 CST 2001 [RELATED]

Audrey,

I'll weigh in with Yannis on this one. I discovered years ago when new motorcycles were required to be equipped with DRL that my attention was captured much sooner by the headlight even on a bright sunny day. I have run with my headlights always on ever since. Bulb life? I've rarely had to replace them, but that's a recollection, not an observation - but so what? It is a cheap safety measure. Annoying someone after dark? The sound of the starter often has the same result. Besides, though I don't know how the 70 series is set up, but I can still switch off the lights on the 850 until I am away from the window. That help?

Ron
