Just about pulled out in front of a car with lights out early this morning.
Not even parking lights. A few seconds earlier...

Why do these people drive with lights out? Save gas - engine runs easier
without generating electricity for lights? Seems I've seen many more of
them in the past year for some reason.

Breeding more of them in your area too?

Sorry to bother you all. Had to vent somewhere.





My car is set to automatic and the lights go on and off as needed.

That said, if it's very dark, it's odd they don't notice that they can't
see anything

Not everybody has brand new fancy cars.
As I just said in another message - mine is 20 years old (and
believe it or not MOST of the lamps are still original - along with
the rear brakes, exhaust, alternator, starter, ball joints and
steering parts, etc at 340,000+ Km)

I guess you don't drive with your lights on all the time then?
Yes I do. The truck has DRLs, and a large portion of the miles driven
on the truck were driven with full lighting (early morning and
evening)

What kind of bulbs? At 20 years old they'd be incandescent, not LED surely?
They are hollogen bulbs, same as have been standard equipment on
North American automobiles for over 30 years.

We have halogen for the headlights, but not for brakes, tails, indicators, etc.

In the last 4 years and 33000km I have changed ONE tail light bulb on
this vehicle..
In the 7 years we owned my wife's Mystique we never changed a
headlight In the 12 years we owned the Chrysler before that I changed
most of the sealed beam lamps once...

I've had good luck with headlights.

I changed a headlight when I hit a deer with it.
Would you have hit the dear deer if it had had it's lights on? Or do
you routinely hit things you can see entering the roadway??
