    Y'know, I'm beginning to wonder about who I'm sharing the road with. OOOOoooo, headlights blind me. Ohhhh, they hurt my eyes. What the heck are you.... bats? Should I be carrying a cross and garlic?

    My truck has daytime driving lights that stay on until I pull the dynamite switch. There's no way to turn them off as long as the truck's running and the brakes are off.
    Besides, I ain't shutting any lights off in any truckstop till I'm safely parked. Too many people around there popping out between trucks, etc that seem to think there's a big red S on their chest. So close yer curtains (i don't wanna see yer mug anyhow:biggrin_25523:) or wear sunglasses.

    You can actually pull the breaker/fuse out for the DRL... They are under their own curcuit & it won't affect anything else.




    You can't make me!

    Whyever would I want to do that? I want to be highly visible even in daylight just in case I meet one of you moon-bats with the weak eyes.:biggrin_25522:

    And Redd..... I wouldn't make you if they was giving away the kit and the crazy glue.:biggrin_2559:

    I leave my lights on in the truck stop, but on a nice, clear, full-moon winter night I like driving with them off.

    Has no one ever been so tired after pulling over for the day that they forgot to turn off their headlights?
