 Subject: Daytime Running Lights?
IP: Logged
Message:
I am the very proud owner of a 2001 CC SLT+ 4x4 3.9. I was wondering why Dodge doesn't put daytime running lights on our trucks? They are about the only company I know that doesn't put these on their trucks. Do the Rams have them? I really do think they improve visibility and probably save lives. Hell, everyone is Canada MUST have them and soon I think every car made in the US will have them, Dodge seems to be behind the ball on this one.

P.S. Does anyone know of a company that makes a kit to make our lights or fog lights daytime running?

Bill, I gotta go against ya with this one. Personally I'm glad that Dodge doesn't put DRL on any of it's U.S. vehicles. I can't stand them and think they are more of an annoyance than anything. Has anyone PROVED that they have saved lives with some facts and figures? Doubt it. I don't think that Dodge is behind the ball. I think that they are smart and know that there isn't any real proof that DRL do anything except to burn out headlights (yes, I know they are only running at about 50%) prematurely and piss people off. Notice that Ford hasn't gone to them either?
That's my opinion, for what it's worth.

Gary,
I respect and understand your opinion. I should have been more clear in what I said. I agree there probably isn't too much evidence that the headlights prevent accidents, but to ME i notice cars a lot more during the day when they have the daytime runners. I guess we will just have to wait and see what the future holds for the DTR systems.

I agree with both of you, I like DRL than I dont. I had them on my Chevys when I had the Chevy trucks, I pulled the fuses on them, but the 2000 S-10 you couldn't pull no fuse so I had to live with it, for some people DRL is great but for most others it Sucks!. I am glad Dodge does not do this also. But there are Companys who make and sell the DRL kit I have seen this stuff in Truckin magazine, it is easy to install. just have to find them. try typing in Daytime running lamps in Yahoo. see what happens.

Count me as another vote against DRL. Originally a safety feature for motorcycles, use on other vehicles waters down this protection.
