IMHO

~ disable the DRL altogether since it is just decreasing the life of the hi-beams by running them at 50%

~ run PolarG M4 in your city lights and leave the yellow His for a more noticable "falsh to pass" color

How do you get all your lights to go on? My two inner ones dont turn on. They only turn on during the daytime or when i use highbeam. But my highbeam cannot be tuck in as well. Do you have to custom your headlights to make them all light up? O_O

how can you drive it with all the lights on then? I put my on park before too but only the two big ones and fogs came on. Maybe the previous owner customized it?
