I agree to the 2 replies. Most people don't even know how to use the lights fitted by law never mind putting vanity ones on!!

I have some LED markers fitted in to where the parking sensors on my bumper are meant to go.

Just remember to put the rear ones on too so you can dazzle everyone behind you and mask your brake lights!

Drls upset me. It's a bright sunny day and you get one clown with Drls on which then causes all the other sheeple to put their sidelights or headlights on and then half of them don't realise that the main beam is on so as well as the insanely bright led Drls there's a bunch of other sheeple also trying to blind oncoming traffic. Then the start flashing me because I don't have lights on at all. Its a sunny day you blithering fools.

Honestly a better law would be automatically applied lights once the ambient light gets below a reasonable level.

Yeah well.. we have that stupid "daylight saving time" thing and a law that forces us to use DRL's or headlights 24/7 during that period.

So... bright and sunny day, apsolutely no logical reason to turn on your headlights and then you get fined by traffic cop.

DRLs have been mandatory on new cars models in the UK (and all EU countries) since 2011. Models (such as Jimmy) which were type approved before this date do not have to have them even when sold as new after this date

I know, but just because it's legal doesn't mean it is safe or sensible nor that there isn't a better alternative.
