daytime running lights (DRL)

[froshie1]

lahat ba ng states standard ang DRL? The real DRL? Kasi noong nandun ako, umiilaw lang ang sasakyan automatically (actually setting ito sa headlamps mo pag nilagay mo sa auto: off, on, auto) kapag mga 30 minutes bago mag takipsilim (parang 530pm dito). Pero pag tanghaling tapat pagkakatanda ko hindi naman nakailaw ang headlights nila.

when I say automatically pati tail lights naka ilaw na din.

Di pa mandatory ang DRL dito, meron mga bagong sasakyan like the new Civic ay may DRL na, meaning walang "off" option. Ang Camry naman ay may auto settings meaning on ang DRL pag araw at auto switch siya sa regular headlights and taillights pag pagabi na.

parang mas nakaka-confuse ata yung DRL pag ginamit yung low-beam headlamps as DRL. pero siguro dahil na rin sa hindi standard yung DRL sa atin. makakasanayan din siguro ng mga motorista pag standard na yung DRL sa mga vehicles.

Diba yung low-beam headlight naman talaga ang ginagamit as DRL? Reduced voltage lang para di masyadong maliwanag, tapos naka-patay yung taillight.

Meron ding ibang kotse na may pseudo-on/off switch sa DRL. Di ko lang sigurado kung straight from the manufacturer yon o modficiation na ng owner.

[Dr.Kamiya]

I'm sure you heard it wrong dahil if the car your driving have DRL, whether you like it or not pag start mo naka on na ang DRL....

I might have heard wrong nga. Anyways not all cars are equipped with DRL, so basically on cars that dont have the feature (like his Jetta) my friend drives with the low beams on.

Daytime running lights are not necessary here.

However it's good practice to turn on your headlights at dipped beam in advance when you're anticipating darkening of your area. That includes entering tunnels and the sort of rain where you have to get out of the intermittent wiper speed setting.

I also drive with my headlamps on. Studies have already proven that the increased visibility can reduce the potential for accidents. That's why in some bridge crossings in the U.S., there is a 'Headlamps on for Safey' sign as you approach. Besides wala namang dagdag sa electric bill or fuel consumption.

As for the taillamp issues, I have a third brakelamp and all my taillamps are functioning.

The first DRLs were high beams not running on full voltage. Some newer systems use a bright amber lamp (mostly GM vehicles).

DRL's are not mandatory in the U.S. They are mandatory in Canada and Sweden.

Volvos can be set to run DRL's with a turn of a screwdriver. However, I still prefer turning the lights on manually.

If I remember it right from the car of my cousin sa US, meron sensor in between doon sa dashboard and windshield...so pag pumasok ng parking at dumilim automatic mag on yun headlight...

sa DRL naman pag start mo, naka-on na talaga and walang switch to turn it off

Actually some cars w/ DRL can be turned off like the Camry. If you put it in auto it will toggle between DRL and Lowbeam.

It is not the low beam itself but another set of very low wattage lightbulbs.

Tama ka diyan sir OTEP. It is also a common practice that you turn your headlights on when using your wipers.

Personal opinyon lang po, nakakadistract (nakakasilaw) para sa 'kin yong mga naka-DRL lalo na kapag sobrang liwanag na ng paligid. Kung okey naman ang visibility sa paligid, what's the point of having them on? Okey lang sa mga motocycles ang naka-on lights nila dahil sobrang liit nila para makita.

[froshie1]

Ako I turn my headlights starting 5:30pm or if it's raining and everytime I'm inside a covered parking lot irregardless of the time.

Wala ba sa London nyan?

Anyway sa US kasi ang napansin kong pinakamaaga doon ay 4:00pm may nakasindi na ng ilaw at marami rami sila (hindi lahat). Pagdating ng 5pm to 530pm 95% doon nakailaw na.

Napahangga nga ako sa standards nila at nagkaron ako ng impressio na basta ilang minutes bago mag takipsilim eh dapat naka headlights na.

well said..

and besides we dont know who amongst us motorists
na may mahinang kakayahan sa paningin,pandinig,pang amoy (pang amoy sa usok) etc. etc,,so mahirap na better be safe than sorry sabi nga nila..
and its up to you nalang and on how safety could possibly saves your life and your vehicle
,,not the bulbs of your vehicle..

in my own opinion po..

Di pa naman required dito ang naka-DRL kaya lang yong mga Volvo cars ay fitted yata sila. Yong mga member sa isang UK forum, hate nila talaga yong mga naka DRL lalo na nga kung okey naman ang visibility.

Pag on ko headlight (low beam) eh panay turo ng tao, pulis, tambay, parking attendant, bossing naka bukas ang ilaw ninyo...hehehe. Kahit yun position light ng mb ang daming nagsasabing naiwan daw na bukas ilaw...hayyy.

Ang sa akin eh basta wala akong nasisilawan, wala akong pakialam Mabuti nang makita nila ako at maiwasang tamaan.

Pwera na lang kung naiwang bukas yung ilaw kapag nakababa ka na ng kotse. Yan ang masama

naeexperience ko to. hehehe! pag nag oon ako ng headlights. yun mga nasa likod ng truck. sesenyasan ako. nginingitian ko na lang at nagnonod. ahehehe! one of our cars is equipped with DRL yun drl nya is a separate light from the main head lights sa tabi ng turn signals that lights up when i put the car into drive.

Most cars dito sa US standard ang DRL like my 07 Corolla/Altis that I traded with an 07 Grand Vitara. Yung vitara ko may sensor sa dashboard for the automatic headlamps, pag madilim mag-auto-on ang headlamps, fog lamps and tail lights, then pag maliwanag na mag-DRL naman sya. Hindi naman nakakasilaw ang DRL kasi mas maliwanag pa ang low-beam kesa DRL. May option to put your head lamps to auto para sa mga makakalimutin mag on/off ng headlamps. During the day, DRL will be turned on pag binaba mo lang ang parking break mo at mag-off sya pag tinaas mo ulit and there is no option to disable it, but others are making a bypass to disable the DRL, ewan ko kung bakit ayaw nila ng DRL.

hmm.. ngayon ko lang nalaman DRL...

i dont have it sa car ko pero pagpatak ng 5pm parklights and foglamp then 6pm headlight na and patay foglamp except if its raining.

mga tsikteers pde ko ba i-convert yung 5watts na park light (peanut bulb) ng altis ko as a DRL? then yung signal light ill replace it with 5/21 double contact na amber .. ok ba yun?

I guess that should be possible... but you will have to re-route your new DRL (previously your park lights) to a main power instead of the partlight switch. Then your double contacts will serve as your park lights. Its possible and it can be done. Find a good electrician.
