cause i might have a problem with my keyboard lol...either that or i am autistic or whatever you call it haha...

Ya we have sheriffs here that are picky, but i notice that a lot of our cops, especially the sheriffs dont have DRLs on so we can just tell them and ask why aren't yours on?

Where they like to pick on us is our speed, ive been pulled over doing 119 on the number 2...speed limit is 110...meanwhile we have people doing 130-140...120 is regular speed on the number 2 haha...we have lots of strait highways here, so maybe they are alittle less picky then they are in ontario. I have no idea....

That would be nice, but I'm guessing 110 is KM/H (110 KM/H=68MPH), which is around what most of the speed limits are that I've seen in NC (I've have family in NC, and I've been down there quite a few times.)

Yeah, it would be nice, but unfortunately up here in CT, most of the roads, both highways and back roads, have too many turns and are too narrow to have higher speed limits. Some of the highways, especially in/around the bigger (relatively speaking) cities like Hartford or New Haven, are even 45. I have no idea where Sylva is, but apparently the speed limits are a little lower were you are. Around were my family is in NC, the smaller highways are 55-60, but the bigger highways are 65-70. But, even some of the back roads are 50-55.

That might be sweet if you could do that....my guess is its in the programming...What I wish (yes im afraid to say it) is i do like the idea that Chev has. With the blinker acting as the DRL. Its just orange not an actual head light, and if i am not mistaken that acts as the blinker. I also believe that thats legal here in Canada so dealers are setting that up upon purchase, cause I see lots of them.

DYSLEXIC? IS THAT WHAT I AM :P I just never realized it :P

Thats on the transcanada highway that that speed is. I don't think that there are very many other highways if any at all that are at 110KM/H. Usually its 100KM/H...we still push it to 109 :P or I do anyways. We can also get away with a little higher speeds cause we are flat and strait here. Ive driven in Montana and doing 75MPH, some roads and turns they have there kinda get you a little on edge, you get into the turn and go, this is not so bad, then you really get into the turn then you start thinking about slowing down a little, after looking at the edge you might fall down HAHA

Chrysler usually uses the high beam at a lower voltage for DRL's. My 07 Grand Caravan has them. Personally I hate them. I have glare sensitive eyes and they hurt my eyes coming at me in most cases. i don't see how they are any safer. They just make the bulbs burn out sooner and annoy people like me. Motorcycles suck because of them too.

Yes, you must use a Starscan tool to turn them off. it's a dealer thing. I was going to try to buy one, but the cheapest I found was around $3000.00 and I can't swing that for sure!!
