Turn the switch to sidelights?
I don't think you can have the sidelights as DRLs as such.

Foglights can be set as DRL's I think...is that right?
I'm sure I've seen that option...but not sidelights.
Doesn't it sort of defeat the purpose of DRLs if you have something so weak powered you don't see them?

Thinking of foglights as DRLs...I get enough looks, flashes and even people phoning me to tell me I have my foglights on and a bulb gone if they see me turning a corner...what with the fog light coming on when cornering...imagine how upset people would get if they were on as DRLs?
Not to mention the Pole-eese.  :rolleyes:

Was thinking of maybe change the sidelight bulb for LEDs so much stronger light.
