2006 Accord EX V-6

You're amazed? I don't really like auto locks, don't need to drive
with the doors locked, and I'm always scared I'm going to get locked
out if the car is running and I get out to scrape the windows
(although, it probably wouldn't). I'm the only one who is going to
drive it, so memory seats and power passenger seats are meaningless to
me. So that essentially leaves a trunk net. I can't see buying a car
or not buying a car over a trunk net. Personally, I value the extra
50hp of the Accord V6 versus the Camry V6 more than a trunk net. If
you have a family, I can see how some of those features are nice to
have, but to others they are meaningless, so don't be so amazed.

BTW, are daytime running lights less powerful than the headlights? Can
you drive at night with just the daytime lights?

 

Elle,

Must be another Nick you are referring to. I have a 95 Integra with 103k
miles. Just recently replaced the CV boots and alternator.

Most likely daytime running lights are less powerful though I don't know
about the 2006 Accord in particular. Manufacturers tried full power day
lite running lights a few years ago and stopped because of complaints. Most
cars with daytime running lites have auto lite setting like my Odyssey and
switch on fill lights in the dark. I don't know about the 2006 Accord.

 

Nick with the 95 Integra: My mistake. Sorry.

 

The daytime lights shine at about half the brightness of low beams. Under
no circumstances should you rely on them at night. Besides, the rear lights
do not light up in daytime mode.

 

We've had DRL's here in Canada since the early 90s, and most of the ones I
have seen have worked in one of two ways:

1. Headlights shine at about half the brightness of low beams (the DRL
lights could be either the high beam bulbs or the low beam bulbs).

2. The parking lights act as the DRL's.
