"I think the stock DRL system and many others like it are just stupid...

Putting the fogs on without any rear lights leads to folks driving around at dusk/night thinking they have lights on when they really don't...

There are enough morons about who drive at night without lights - without encouraging more of them .

I think all DRL implementations should include marker lights as well.

Alan "

BTDT in heavy city traffic on a long trip years ago, when the side-light indicator on the dash was inop on Lynn's Suburban. I didn't even know that there was a side-light indicator at that time.

I just bought an S-class Mercedes Benz, and the side-lights are on with the DRLs.

Yes. 928 would be tough not to know your lights are not on.

The 928 has no angular or curvacious lines to place them.
I was thinking about putting the LED lights inside the ducts for the cooling air to the brakes. Using a weatherproof closed armature with lenses etc.
