Daytime Running Lights changed ???
Was being followed on the highway today by a brand new H3 (paper plates) and noticed the DRL's were different from mine.
Instead of the parking lights being on, the headlights were on in "very dim" mode like GM trucks used to be. No tail lights were on, so I know it must have been the DRLs.
Anyone know if this is a change they made recently (and why)?
Under Texas law it used to be illegal to drive with parking lights on, I don't know if it still is. I wonder if that is an issue.

Re: Daytime Running Lights changed ???
I read that on another forum and thought it was BS until I saw one with the new DRL's the next day. Anyone with info want to confirm why it was changed.

Re: Daytime Running Lights changed ???
Mmmm interesting. I like the way the H2's run the fog lights as DRL's (I'm assuming that's the standard setup on H2's).

Re: Daytime Running Lights changed ???
My H3 was produced in March of this year and has the dim headlamps for DRL's.

Re: Daytime Running Lights changed ???
My H3 uses the headlights for DRL's. I thought that was standard. I did notice the rental they gave me used the marker lamps. I just figured that was something special the rental company requested. Guess I was wrong.

Re: Daytime Running Lights changed ???
For the cost of a few headlights once in a while, I drive with head lights on full on, day/night rain/shine. It's a safety thing for me. I think there's a reason why school buses and motorcycles do the same thing (besides the law). So far, the xenon HID lights on the current vehicle have lasted 100K miles of being on all the time. Gunna hate to replce them when they go though.

Try driving a Corvette C5. Hell the console is only 1 inch deep. To me the H3 seems like a large cavity just waiting to be filled with worthless junk. There are even pockets in the door panel, a very deep console, and a glove box that will acutally hold the owner's manual and a pair of gloves.

Re: Daytime Running Lights changed ???
You can turn off the DRL while driving but when your restart the engine they come back on.

Yea, but you had to look at the rear end of the Aztec once in a while...didn't you
GM is coming back with the Aztek, here is a spy photo of the next generation. Not much room inside, but it can haul a lot of s**t in the back, and the axles are really large, and it offers a very big diesel.
