I'm not trying to start a war either but the whole idea is the same as the "3rd brake light of '86" Just one more thing to make a poor driver even more lazy. In a country with probably the most cars on the road, we have the worst driving test. A few multiple choice questions and a spin around the block with the old guy in the funny hat and you're on the road. This is where it should start, educate the driver.

I agree with you fully about the crappy driving tests, there is nothing to them. If they were to make you drive navigate a closed course with hazards, that would be a better test, but no one would be able to drive. Its also a matter of personal taste. I like the look of the 3rd brake light of 86 (outside the window), but didnt all the other years also have one on the inside? My sisters 91Z has a 3rd brake light on the inside.

who cares? my sole purpose for the DRLs is because :
1. no one else will have them
2. my car will stand out in a line of 3rd gens
3. they look cool
it's mainly for looks. but so what. personally I don't notice cars with headlight drls that much @ all, and the ones with parking light drls usually look pretty cool like that. even the buicks.

it couldnt be said better..we dont really care about the functionality, if that was the case, why are we on the apprearance board in the first place..These would just look plain damn cool..thats it!! Driving with the highbeams on is one thing, but not small marker lights. we dont drive lexus...we are young, I prefer sports cars..when my *** is too big and tired of siting in these uncomfortable 3rd-gen seats, well, I will get a luxuary car....but till then.........

no kiddin' this could easily be on the tech board, but it's not. if it were solely for safety and functionality it'd be there, but it's here -- because it's for the enhansment (spelling?) of our cars looks.

Jza, whats this about a Low Fuel Light? sounds intrueging (however you spell it). is all you have for plans is a hand written copy? if not, I think I'd like a copy of those. Im starting work on a theater lighting module this week, and should have the DRL module together by this weekend, so I might as well get it all done at the same time.
