Here in Georgia it is required by Law to turn on your headlights when it is raining, so if your wipers are on your headlights are too.

I ended up switching off the headlamps with wipers option because of the dimming of the nav. PITA. I have daylight running lights on anyways.
Would DLRL pass in Georgia in case of rain ? or do they want the tail lights on as well ?

You can switch this off in the setup menu just cruise through it and you will find it. If not I can do it on mine and write out the steps if you like?

The setup option on my EVIC display is locked. Not an option when I select it, nothing happens. I meant to read up on this to find out what settings are in there that can be changed. Any idea how to unlock it?
Sorry for hijack.

I hate Day time running lights. The bulbs don't last at all, If your living in Canada, you will see a lot of 3rd gen and I'm seing 4rth gen rams with one bulb burnt out with day time running lights, GM trucks are esp bad for this.

If you want DTRL all you need is a module, Your Dodge dealer can get it for you...

To unlock try putting your truck in park.

Yes, put your truck in park.

And you really don't need DRL. We already have Auto headlights and you can always turn them on manually. At least this way we have the control to turn them off and the bulbs won't burn out as fast.
