The end-all DRL modification

[MAL]

Thanks for all of this information. Is there only one kind of 3157 socket? I would think they are application specific for the housing they go in to - but I could be wrong (would not be the first time! LOL).

I am still undecided if I am going to do it at all. I am also considering sending the lights out to get new lenses, both are burned.

I don't use my DRL's. When you start the vehicle, rotate the outer ring on light control on the stalk down to turn them off. It turns off the automatic light control and the DRL's. If I needed to use DRL's, I'd just turn on my headlights. Easiest fix for all of this, IMOO.

They are required by law in most states. Like headlights on when it rains

Actually, manufacturers had to equip vehicles with DRL's after a certain MY. DRL's are not enforceable due to vehicles built before the safety mandate was put in place. For example, 1986 MY and newer vehicles were required by to have a CHSML, or third brake light installed by the manufacturer in order to certify the vehicle for sale in the US - just like passive restraints, airbags, etc...According to your theory, it would be illegal to operate a vehicle without retrofitting all of the newer technology. Operating a motor vehicle of any type when using your wipers is a federally mandated law.
