I"m not about to get into it on a thread over the internet. But, I'm assuming most of the folks on this Acura enthusiast thread do remove the dealer sticker on the back of the vehicle if one was installed. If not, you are just taking away from the fabulous image of your Acura, while becoming a mobile billboard.

If you think I am the only one who feels this way about DRLs, please visit this site. While not the most extravagant, it gets the point across -- The NHTSA finds NO SAFETY benefit for DRLs.

i just wanna point out that their blog post has "negative" misspelled, along with their main logo having 3 vehicles with their fog lights AND high beams on. pretty much just tells me that these people have to much time on their hands.

beyond that. if you want to, then pull the fuse. if you don't mind the DRL's, don't pull the fuse. if you want, drive with your low beams and fog lights on. no one will ever agree on everything. just let it be. theres no point to debate this lol

Am I the only one who doesn't see the connection between removing dealer logos and daytime running lights...?

If you actually go to the NHTSA and read their report in their words, you will find that the Lightsout.org folks have not represented the results of the study entirely, just the parts that support their agenda.

Back to safety, nearly every state has a law requiring motorcycles to have headlights on at all times and the reason is to increase visibility. Regardless of whether you "should" have seen them anyway, the light makes them more visible.

I mean I get his point, but he's associating removing dealer stickers to DRLs? He's saying that people who like DRLs don't appreciate a clean car.

Removing a dealer logo I'm sure EVERYONE (besides dealers themselves) would agree makes a cleaner car.

Disabling DRLs, however, is of personal preference. Just because someone has DRLs doesn't mean their car can't be clean.

That's what I'm trying to say

I wanted to confirm that pulling fuse #15 (7.5a) under the driver side dash, will disable the DRL (daytime running lights). There is no warning light that displays.

This method worked for a 2011 TSX (assuming 2010 will work as well).

Its a matter of preference I supposed, but I still don't believe a vehicle in the US, where we have plenty of daylight, we need to equip our vehicles with lights to be more visible---during the day. But I guess DRLs could be useful when you are 2 sheets to the wind, pulling out of the bar parking lot at 4pm after lunch hour turned into an all after noon bender.
