If yours are not on - you may just have to get the dealer to do a lil check and see its all wired properly... A quick phone call can probably tell you what you need to know.

But you say you need them turned on. Since you are in Las Vegas may I ask why? Or is it just because you would like them? _____________________________ (in reply to jvandover) Post #: 4

RE: daytime running lights - 4/12/2008 7:51:56 PM    futil   Posts: 320 Joined: 9/11/2007 Status: offline I wish I had that problem.. I hate my daytime running lights... I especially hate when people constantly tell me I have a headlight out when I make a turn (The system turns the headlight off on the side that the blinker is active) and when the lights turn off when I use my emergency brake (the system turns off the DRLs when you use your emergency brake) because I use the emergency brake frequently to slide the rear end into turns at speeds that I couldn't normally take the turn with.. So aside of the squealing tires and people thinking I am going to slam into them.. they think I'm flashing my lights at them to be a wise ass as well :) Speaking of which I scared the crap out of a guy in a white van the other day doing that.. I was in control of the car but he didn't know that.. He was daydreaming at a light and I slid the rear end around the corner with a really loud squeal.. He grabbed his steering wheel really hard and shit himself.. I watched him through the turn.. was too funny even though I really wasn't planning on messing with him.. it was a 90 degree turn at 76 MPH.. And yes I know everyone is going to call me an immature retard but it was fun and is how I have driven most of my life so I plus I have driven this road for over 15 years and know how far I can push my car around turns.. Im just waiting for the day theres an oil spill there :) (in reply to turfgrass) Post #: 5

RE: daytime running lights - 4/16/2008 8:12:04 PM    futil   Posts: 320 Joined: 9/11/2007 Status: offline oops.. Forgot to actually answer your question.. Sorry about that.. The dealer needs to activate it using a starscan tool.. Its just a simple setting shouldnt take more than 5 minutes to actually do it.. but 3 hours waiting for them to get around to doing your car. Sometimes the dealer forgets to set certain features. I am sure it was just an oversight.. but they should do it for you for free as it was their mistake in the first place.. Unfortunately you can't make the change yourself without a StarScan. (in reply to calipar) Post #: 8
