And since there is sometimes confusion as to whether or not California is part of the USA, JDN's abbreviation refers to the country of Canada, not the state of California...I think...

For the first time ever, you're wrong as far as my intent, Rudy. My facts might be suspect.

uh Ohhhh....not another fog light comment just be careful iceman doesn't read it

Anyways, my dealer turned off the DRL's at the time of pick up last year because he said that the bulbs blow out and they have to replace them quite often. Plus you are not required to have DRL's in USA. Although they are required in Canada

Ah ha! I wondered a bit about the placement of your smiley but after thinking about it, I was still convinced you meant the country to the North...

You got me buddy!

Not really. In the end, I was the one that was wrong. You were just making a valiant effort at saving me from myself. I really thought our buddies on the left coast required daytime running lights.
