hmmm, i'm sure if you scanned the ecu, it would indicate the problem in the circuit. i may be wrong though. do your high beams work?

man, just leave them off!

I hate DRL's with a passion. It's one of the reasons I went for a used S2k over a new one.

As a motorcyclist, the more other cars blend in with me (all motorcycles have their headlights on all the time), the less chance people will see me and be sure not to kill me.

Was that really a factor in your decision to not buy a new car?
