Daytime Running Lights changed ???

[HumbleAg]

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.

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.

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).

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.
