If you want to stand out, add a bumper sticker or curb feelers, I'm tired of squinting while driving at night. (It is fun to vent!)

Well said! I get an (angry) kick out of the ricer kids who have to drive up and down our well-lit main drag with their fog lights burning.

As for making daytime running lights happen, I was planning to make the city light bulbs in my eurolamps serve this purpose. Since they are 5w bulbs, I figured I could just splice them into any 12V+ lead at the fuse box that is switched with the ignition.

Good luck!
