Are you for or against DRL?

Generally I'm against DRLs. I find them too tacky.

Of course, there are some well-executed exceptions.

The thing is - who needs dedicated daytime running lights when your headlights can do the same thing?

I spent the better part of a week in Poland in May 2011. When we crossed the border from the Slovak Republic, one prominent sign I saw from my seat on the bus was that all vehicles' headlights must be on 24/7 as long as they are being driven. During that week shuttling between Warsaw, Krakow, Wadowice and Czestochowa, not one car was on the roads with its headlights off - and before you mention the weather, the whole time it was a balmy 24-28 deg C and sunny for the most part.

I brought the principle back with me as I drove again on Manila streets. My logic is, with all my lights running in the daytime, there will be less of an excuse for other motorists to crash into my car.

My two cents.

I'm for DRL. Ganda eh lalo na sa Audi.

drls on high end brands like audi, porsches, ferraris, lambos and benz are nice!

For DRLs - to preserve half the power usage and half the life of the bulbs

Sa dark at small vehicles ok ang DRL, ang problema yung sa probinsya na kagaya ng tricycle na wala kahit tail light, kuliglig, bike na hindi marunong tumabi... and the like.

Pag nasanay ka na may DRL ang mga kotse sa kalsada, disgrasya pag napunta ka sa probinsya, mabubulaga ka na lang dahil may sasalpukin ka na sa harap mo.

Awareness pa rin ang safety ng bawat motorista sa kalsada!

I'm for DRL but against those LED light bar things.

i'd rather that we all have drl working if the car was equipped with one than other drivers driving at night without lights. it is there for safety, not for looks. it simply means that the ignition is on and that the parking brakes is released. this is to let other drivers and pedestrians know that there is a possibility that the car can move forward. i'd rather have cars with drl's on than some einsteins driving at night with fog lights on when there is no fog. i guess most kababayans are in just for the looks and safety secondary to it. safety is a necessity, not an options guys

Ewan ko nga bakit ayaw mag HL ang mga ibang driver kahit napaka dilim na ng parking lot. Sa St. Lukes Global City, ilang beses na ako nabulaga ng mga mabibilis mag drive na walang HL sa basement parking (bilis nila kahit kita na ako since i have my HLs on). Minsan may umakyat pa sa ramp ko (going down).

Nakakabwisit mga ganyan driver noh? Akala siguro nila Meralco yun kuryente ng kotse nila, Basta enclosed pag pumasok dapat automatic on na headlights. Hinde naman mga drivers Karamihan nag drive but owners themselves

Malakas daw kasi sa gas pag naka-on ang HLs.

grabe tawa ko dun! :lol: personally im in for DRL

[HondaWay]

Yan rin problem sa parking ng office namin, loob ng building, daming di nagbubukas ng headlights kahit na may sign papasok na buksan ito. Siguro nga akala nila nakakatipid sila sa gas o meralco sa ginagawa nila. Mahina siguro ulo kaya akala nila laki natitipid nila kapag patay ilaw.

Are you for or against Daytime Running Lights?

For (Yes): DRL makes every vehicle visible from a glance, promoting safety and awareness of your surroundings

Against (No): We don't get bad weather all that too often and so, DRL adds unnecessary glare and distraction

Neutral/Undecided: Status quo; I'll use it if the car came with it as standard. If not, I don't think I'll go through the trouble of installing one

neutral ako, wont go through the trouble, pag oem, fine

Do we need DRLs? I don't think so. We just need people to have the common sense to turn on their park lights when the weather turns gloomy.

I'm not a fan of aftermarket DRLs placed on older cars. Looks really tacky to me. Even the DRLs on the Sportage look really tacky. I think it's more form than function anyway for a country like the Philippines.

[jresperanza]

Neutral/Undecided here, wont install these as this can be an additional fire hazard due to its a modification of the electrical system...

[CVT]

I am for it for better visibility on the road...

In a situation where the sun is at the back of a vehicle,- please turn on your DRL or headlights so that the oncoming traffic, "blinded" by the sun, can readily see you....

Also, the same is true for those vehicles with the sun 'directly' in front,- so that the driver of the vehicle behind you can easily see you (tail lights in this case).....

i am for it.
nakakatulong talaga specially on highway driving.... malabong hindi mo mapansin eh. have noticed na yung may mga drls na tumatakbo sa skyway, ang layo pa kita mo na eh.

[miko101130]

2 years na ako meh DRL, i think ok naman siya... sa intesection at sa highway mapapansin talaga. so basta safety okey lang...
