Who's got their DRL's on?
« on: 27 May 2011, 13:31 »
I'm seeing more and more Mk6's out on the roads these days, but strangely few of them have their DRL's turned on.

Whether you have Halogens, Xenons or Fairy lights, have you got yours on or have you turned them off. If so, why?

Oh, I forgot to add. I'm seeing 11 plate cars without them on too. Why's that then? Is the legislation that the car has to have them, but they don't have to work?

My Xenons are always on - why would you turn them off?

I come from a motorcycle background so I have DRL's on at a very minimum.

Mine are off.
Why?
Because of the model year of mine, the DRL are the main front xenons on with the rear lights also on.
I got sick of the funny looks and people asking why i had my lights on in bright sunshine.
So i turned them off.

Mine are off because the bulbs are yellow like an old man's teeth and I'm a tart.



If I had xenons I'd keep them on all the time........similarly because I'm a tart.

I don't mind people saying things 'why have you got your lights on' I'd rather hear that than 'sorry mate I didnt see you'
