Enable DRL on 2005 US Spec CR-V?

I should have said that you're a crock, I guess {;^)

I have read many things over the years about DRLs and none of them were on
the Internet. You might try a Library it's the old fashioned (but effective
way) of doing research. That and the fact that, I was brought up being told
if you want something, do it yourself.

 

Huh? I know I don't like other cars shining their high beams in face. I'm
sure I am not the only person who feels this way.

True, but we should try to not complicate things for them. Without DRL's
they will realize they need to turn out their lights when the road in front
of them is dark.

In many other countries, optional or mandatory DRLs must be white, and
have a narrowly defined range of light intensity, in order to be effective
as DRLs without creating too much glare in low light conditions.

In the US and Canada, high beams which create too much glare in low light
conditions (e.g. in the evening if the driver forgets to turn on the
regular low beam headlamps) and turn signals which can give false signals
if glanced at briefly (e.g. if the glance occurs when the signaling side
is in the off phase) are commonly used as DRLs.

Very sharp cutoff of the beam pattern. High beams are not allowed to be
used as DRL's.

Toyota and BMW use high beams as DRLs in the US. A number of other
companies also use high beams as DRLs in Canada (for cars which are
not equipped with DRLs in the US). GM may have been pushing the
annoying high beam DRLs, but others are following.

So anyone who states facts and quotes a pretty reliable source is a crock.
Are you saying that no facts can be found on the internet and we must go to
the library to be as enlightened as you? How long does it take for
information to reach the library? It's pretty safe to say that a lot of
information and books at public libraries are out of date and in some cases
completely false. It's next to impossible to go in and edit a book once it
has been printed and placed on a library shelf. Well, maybe you were using
special Internet Library Computer that has access to facts that aren't found
by us home internet users.

How on earth does wanting something and doing it yourself apply to a topic
regarding DRL's? Based upon that idiotic remark, I conclude that you mean
we should all develop our own DRL system because none of the automotive
engineers are as capable as you. It's probably because they use computers
and don't have access to your magical Library.

I just figured it out, you must be a Professor at Hogwarts and have access
to all of the books in the Hogwarts Library.

You've missed the point completely. What I said was, that I had read a
number of articles years ago about the benefits of DRLs. The other part I
said was that I do not have the time to do your research. If you want to
read about something, look it up yourself.

I agree with the parking lights being used as DRLs being a bad idea.
However, I don't find that the lower wattage output of the high beams, give
an extraordinary amount of glare back to the driver in low light or foggy or
snowy conditions.

That's interesting. Do you realize that the majority of vehicles in Canada
are equipped with high beam (lower wattage output) DRLs?

IMHO you're overly optimistic here, A-Rod.

Lower wattage high beams do get annoying to _other_ drivers when used in
overcast or near dusk conditions.
