Canada ones have them. USA don't. Now I see 07's will have them.

Welcome to AZ Unless you have a Canadian or 07 TSX, you don't have daylight running lights.

Perhaps you mistook foglights for DRL's.

I think it is funny that many people who don't have DRL's wnat them and many people that have DRL's don't want them.

I am in the glad we don't have them category.

Anyone know if the US TSX is already wired for this and is just missing a fuse/relay? Or is the wiring not even there?

Thanks

the fuse is there, i just used it to replace a burnt fuse the other day. Not sure what else is needed. The owners manual lists the spot in the fuse box, but it is starred and says canadian only. Still, my car had a fuse in that slot.

Are you also from the flock that don't put their headlights on when it's raining?

I'm so glad that we don't have them. I'd either cut the line, or avoid a car that has them =P

I'm also glad I don't have DRL's. If you can't see a 2000+ pound object then you shouldn't be driving.

DRLs do their job - which is to make that 2000lb object that much more visible. You may not see the silhouette of the car but the lights are obvious. Even at night where you can't drive w/o the DRLs going, if you forget your headlights the DRLs are on. Definitely a good safety feature but makes you that much more visible to cops' radar!

Take a drive down a two-lane backroad during the day, and, as you pass someone (in the oncoming lane), you'll get to appreciate the DRL's...

You may be right but there is no definitive proof that drl's can avoid accidents.

And btw, I often drive on 2 lane back roads and I have no problems

Mount Tantalus ftw.
