How many one-eyed GM trucks have you seen though? It may just be a GM thing, but they're notorious for burning the DRL's out quick.

Oh I agree there are some things that are nicer and mandated. I also get a discount for having an "alarm" on my truck but that doesn't stop vehicle theft. Lol
In my job I see people roll several times and walk away unscathed and a majority of the time they were distracted and went off the road.
I was on a mini rant as I know these safety items are good but you can throw safety items all day long but until to remove the human element then there will always be idiots that ruin someone's day or lives.
I've been almost hit several times on the side of the road at accidents and I'm blocking the lane with a 47' ladder truck with over a hundred LED emergency housings which translates into thousands of them. I have 6 quartz lights that are 750 watts each. Yet drivers almost hit us.

[MENTION=118343]Toddman34[/MENTION] Yeah no doubt. Or eating, typing on the computer, digging around in the vehicle, feeding kids in the back seat and any other crap that I have seen go on around here.
Just saying...

Well, all you DRL haters have just lucked out...it seems that the Ford technicians at my local dealer didn't know how to activate them correctly, and my interior lights now flash uncontrollably while I'm driving down the road.

I love the idea of having the DRL activated on my 13. Never knew it could be done. My only concern is with me have a custom tune. With them reprogramming the computer should i return my truck to stock before bringing it in? Is this something the dealer must do, or is it something i can do?

Is the option to turn DRL's on available for 2010? I noticed that my parking lights have a 'high beam' mode when I first unlock with the remote and then they dim down to normal brightness.

Perhaps your lights are so bright they blind the other driver and they almost hit you because suddenly they cannot see the road? There are rules on lights for this reason, and there are rules on how your lights have to be angled. Call it government mandates or over regulation, but it makes everyone equal and lets you drive other cars and have a familiar experience, as well as for other drivers.
