People complain about the lack of light with a standard set up Volvo, I run a Cascadia with no running lights, and like it just fine, except on those nights when the humidity seems to soak up light, and it affects everyone on those nights. I'm running the stock H11; the bulbs are interchangeable from high to low beam
I'm not a fan of the running lights on anything, aimed properly,, there is too much light close and seeing into the distance suffers. Aimed improperly, they blind everyone else.
If I happened to have a truck so equipped, I switched the darned things to off.
I drive anytime, something to be said for all of it except the big city during the gridlock of daytime.

Wish the drivers of all these new Cascadias and some other trucks would figure out they do NOT need those dang driving lights!
My ProStar has them and have never been used.

[h=1]Rain-X Wax[/h]
by Cpt MarkRain-X Wax coats glass to repel water. It differs from Rain-X original in that it buffs off much more easily. Once applied to your windshield, you can go through even heavy storms without using your wipers. The water literally beads right off the glass. Plus, bugs and snow come off easily while driving thereby increasing visibility. Also, ice does not stick so I recommend this for your car as well and clearing your glass when you first start your car is a breeze. A bottle costs around $5 and will last a year. It needs to be reapplied approximately every month for best results. Putting it on a truck takes about two minutes. While you may not see money savings, better visibility could prevent an accident.

I used RainX on one truck and it worked great. When I went into a newer truck I thought I applied it the same way but it did not work for some reason. Until it wore off it was just one big smear.

I did too because I put it on wrong. I hated the lines it gave on my windshield. It looked like streaks where my wiper blades hit and smudged. Then Someone showed me how to do it with the new gel and clay bar and it was a whole new game! They really should have called it something else. Just so people did not think bad like they do with rain x. but the gel and clay make it super smooth and NO STREAKS..try it on passenger side of your car for a month to see. The water just slides off and no streaks or marks. I am not an employee of rainx or have stock etc. just love how safe I feel when it rains and no more fogged up inside or streaks or halos from other lights at night.
