My title should have been " Daytime running Lights "
thinking about it in simplistic way .. one obvious way is to connect the power of the DRL ( Day time driving lights ) to the cigarette lighter .. thats the only item that I can think of which only has power to it either by turning to the ON position or engine running ... does this make any sense to you electric gurus out there ? Is there any harm or electric danger in that ? again the idea is to have the parking lights ( changed to LED ) or other additional lights ( LED Strips ) be on all the time with no need to switch anything .
By the way , it never seize to amaze me that in a city like Miami , where when it rains it really pours...gusts and rain and the loss of ambient light in the middle of the day is quite common in a rain storm, yet only two out of ten drivers knows that headlight should be turned on.. I guess they figure " If I can see enough, then it is good enough and I am sure other people can see me !!!
