Camry's see sports cars and start driving like douchebags... idiots.

But i guess now is the perfect time to put a CORNY Z driver on blast. A few weeks ago, I was taking my wife to eat dinner on a friday night, in one of these "shake and bake" mall/entertainment villages that are popping up all around the south. I hit an all way stop when me and a 2013 base 370z both hit the stop sign at the same time, He was to my right. I encouraged him to go on ahead but he insisted i went, so i did. His DRL's were off when we were both at the stop. As i began to pass he suddenly turn on his DRL's, I guess to show he has a 2013??? lol. Only if i liked the lights in the first place to feel some type of envy? My wife saw his face while he did it and just laughed.

I guess the DRL's add 30hp???

Don't think you can just turn the DRLs on or off. They are on as soon as the car starts moving and only turn off if you turn the headlights off.

Just sayin'.

That or he just turned the headlights off (or the car did, on Auto). That's the only thing that would have turned them back on.

Just sayin'.

Maybe DRL's come on at night on auto mode but headlights on/ DRL off only on (ON) mode? Or it was modded to work that way?

Well, all I know is the DRLs come on once you start moving (actually, when you disengage the parking brake). They stay on until the headlights come on, then they switch off. There is no (stock) DRL control.

Based on what you said, he probably just turned his headlights off so he could flash his DRLs at you.

Honestly, I think those DRLs are ugly. Only thing wrong with the 13' but that's just personal taste.

Offset by that pretty midnight blue color. I just don't like those running lights vOv. Better than the 12' option at least.

Like I said though, it's just an aesthetic thing.

Nissan should have integrated DRL's into the new headlights, cuz those vertical white lights in the bulbous front look extremely forced. JUST LIKE VETTE DUCTS...
