8/10 its the current gen civics...
one night, it was 3/3. all 3 civics didn't have headlights on
and for hte other 2/10 its high beams on...
seriously, how stupid can some people be?
few weeks back when there was a lot of fog in richmond, a guy pulls out of a side street in front of me.
he was driving a tsx, no headlights on, in pretty damn heavy fog where you could barely see 5 ft in front of you.
guess what he does next?
turns on his highbeams...  |

That's why I like the pop-up headlights (aside from thinking they look better) you'll never forget to turn them on! And if you do, you're silly and should give me your car

Hence fog lights are 3000k yellow and cut right through fog/rain.

I figured sometimes it's because people r importing cars from the US now and they don't have DRL cuz sometimes it's a bone stock newish car but there's no DRL. I see people driving with no lights all the time now, if u flash ur high beams u might get run into a ditch and run over in todays day and age

GM was doing that shit on cars back in the early 90s. You seem to think the auto-on headlights are a new thing, or something that imports developed.

drivers are not to blame
the know it all government is to blame for making DRL's mandatory in 1991
the genius engineers for automotive companies to make auto headlights but not tail lights
too many features, too many options leads to crap like this

^ auto headlights are supposed to turn on tail lights too.
Anyway I was surprised my rental Cobalt LS had auto lights whereas the Mazda6 I now swapped for hauling family doesn't.
but the Mazda6 has so many creature comfort bits that the Cobalt can't even dream to have on it it's no comparison.

I always wondered why they made DRL's for the front, yet nothing for the rear. It would come in handy on days where it's pissing, or really foggy yet people don't turn their lights on cause it's daytime and they think they shouldn't have to.

cars that install HIDs on their car and do a lousy job of aiming them also pisses me off. Its like they aren't aimin to the ground but rather your face. If its really bad i just high beam them back with my HIDs to let em know thier lights are annoying.

People who put HID's in any reflector housing are annoying...your car wasn't expensive enough to come with HID's stop trying to make it look like it was. Even if they are aimed properly they still suck compared to projectors.

How true, even late into 2010 I still see a few drivers who neglect/forget to turn on their lights. As others mentioned above many of these newer Japanese models have daytime LED lighting up their console. Hence many drivers assume the outside (rear) lights are on as well. When will they ever learn??!!
