The New "What did you do with your Z today" (with off topic replies) V

kenchan

thanks for the spot putty link, mr. happy.

i took out my G a couple more times pm. had a good time. my Z's cooled down so i check oil level, etc. everything looks good.

also wired up a switch with led on my fit to turn my drl on/off. i hate drl, but on drizzly days, i would turn that on instead of headlights so i dont dim my hu.

plus, sometimes im idling at night in a parking lot waiting for someone, and the DRL doesnt turn off until i shut down. which imo is dumb. so now, i can shut it off manually without killing the engine.

Good idea with the switch.

if you have DRL on any other car... next time you are driving and are parked.. try pulling your ebrake up.. most cars with DRL have a small switch built in the ebrake.. you just pull it up a tad, not enough to activate the brake, but it turns DRLs off...

thanks. yah, im switching to stillens too.


yah, i wish that was the case, but it doesnt work that way on my fit. it's once i disengage the e-brake, regardless of ebrake engaged or not, the DRL does not turn off until i shut down.

plus, my car is MT so i need e-brake while the engine is running and im watching dvd or something for longer than 5min or so.

that sucks... my ex-gf's Jetta used to have that, it was sweet... I think my eclipse did too.. but I didn't mind the DRLs.

yah. if the color of the lamp was more white (like piaa's or something) i wouldn't mind DRL, but my car runs H4's which is like dual filament one that does both low and high beams. most people report 7-8months and aftermarket bulbs burn out.

so i decided just keep the stock bulbs and turn off DRL as much as possible.
