do you guys turn on your headlights (seeing that we don't have daytime running ones) in the rain? (during the early morning/morning)


wouldn't really know if i'm blinding anybody because i'm the one driving











hah. after i read it, sounded like a pretty stupid question
just wondering

 

yes, it is NY state law to drive with your headlights on in the rain

 

i believe its also law here in WA, no matter what time of day it is.

 

you guys save a lot of research.

 

lot of research? 42 seconds on google found me this

hah

well i've always used it for safety reasons, never really thought it was the law

 

I always have my lights on, even in sunny weather. I think its safer. People will be more likely to look at and notice the idiot with his lights on at 1pm.

 

very true, i almost always have my lights on... and it is easier to see cars even when its sunny, especially when you are looking into the sun for oncoming traffic.

 

Have you noticed how the "parking" light setting on our xD actually illuminates the headlight area in white light? It's very much like daytime running lights. In dim weather, light rain, etc. I will often use this setting. Yep, in Virginia if your wipers are running above the intermittent setting you are required to burn headlights.

 

Parking Lights FTW. I use em all the time too. I actually want to develop some LED daytime lights as seen on the latest AUDI models. That look is HAWT!

Perhaps I could get in touch with that Garage1217 guy and see if we can fab up some white LED daytime running lights. Hmmmmmmm?....would anyone be interested in those?

 

CA law requires you to turn on your headlights when you have to use your wipers.. (i.e. it's raining..)

and most states, it is ILLEGAL to drive with just your parking lights... those puny parking lights are just that... and do not serve/function/count as daytime running lights.

 

i would use my parking lights but i change the bulb with a blue led bulb to match the car and thats def an automatic ticket lol
