Lighting Question
Hey everyone, I know that there's a ton of u Ford owners that have HIDs out there, my question is would a person be able to disable the daytime running lights so you could save the life of ur bulbs. Also could you use your fog lights as your daytime running lights possibly. Any help would be awesome thanks.

The DRL operates at the same voltage as the low beams, so you won't have any issues with the life of the HID bulbs as a result of that. What you may want to disable is the courtesy lighting feature (if you have it) that turns on the headlights when you use the keyless entry to unlock the vehicle at night. This short duration (less than three minutes) IS harmful to the life of the HID bulbs if you don't run to the truck and turn them on manually to let the bulbs operate for a minimum of three minutes.
EDIT: DRLs ARE required in Canada....
