An even stupider thing about daytime running lights is they don't turn

gets dark you notice.

That's another strange thing about this 2000 Solara. When I let the
headlights turn on automatically, because I've started the engine, the
dash lights don't go on for another 10 seconds or so. I don't know
why it's not right away and I don't know what finally makes them go
on! It might be shifting into gear, but I have to check.


DRL do not really give you much to see by. The purpose it to be seen
under certain circumstances.
