daytime running lights (DRL)

[Camgen6]

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

guys is it bad po ba kung mag sstart ng sasakyan na naka on yung DRL?

or i-off ko muna DRL upon start?

[baludoy]

^ sa amin wala na switch ang drl ng mga sasakyan namin (monty at fd) wala naman nagka-prob so far

[RF02]

pag on palang sir naka ilaw na DRL nyo po? tapos pag start wala naman po problema sa battery po?

[baludoy]

ganun na nga bos. automatic sindi na iyong mga iyan kapag nasa "on" position na iyong susi.

mag one year na by the end of the month iyong nasa fd (courtesy of gary q) and hindi pa naman namatay iyong battery maski tapos na iyong warranty ng batt (due for replacement na din pala siya hehe).

My DRLs are tapped on my accessory wirings, so pagstart ko palang meron na. No problem so far naman.

[crosswind]

Dba yung 2014 sportivo may DRL na?

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.

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.

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

Depends on the car. On the VW passat 100% sure it's the low beam itself. On other cars like the Lexus RX300 its' the high beam naman, I guess on some other models may dedicated DRL light.

Passat Low Beam vs DRL mode (notice the bulb in use is the same)


You can even open up the cluster, wala talagang ibang bulb for DRL, it's just a matter of controlling the voltage to the light.

You're right, some models have dedicated DRL just like the USDM Camry.

Correction on the Camry. The DRL is the same bulb as the High beam. Pics of my Camry. DRL, Low beam and High beam.
