Re: 2000 Jeep Wrangler Fog Light Mod Questions
I never understood DTRs. If we need lights in the day time, and I accept the
notion that we do, then why not just have a circuit that turns the lights on
after the motor starts? If the lights turned on with the engine, then the
driver would only have to concern him/herself with deciding if high beams or
low beams were needed.

Re: 2000 Jeep Wrangler Fog Light Mod Questions
My old Tahoe Sport had the daytime lights, and I've missed them since.
The only complaint I had about them was they came on before the starter
engaged which put unecessary load on the battery.

Re: 2000 Jeep Wrangler Fog Light Mod Questions
I once owned a Touring Class Yamaha, and the lighting system cam on after
the engine started. If the engine was switched off, then the lights died
until the engine came back on again. Surely, Detroit et al can design a
lighting system that comes on with the engine and shuts itself off again
after the engine goes dead. Why did they give us DTRs when they could have
given us Auto-ON headlights that do the same thing, but do it better?

Re: 2000 Jeep Wrangler Fog Light Mod Questions
I once owned a Touring Class Yamaha, and the lighting system cam on after
the engine started. If the engine was switched off, then the lights died
until the engine came back on again. Surely, Detroit et al can design a
lighting system that comes on with the engine and shuts itself off again
after the engine goes dead. Why did they give us DTRs when they could have
given us Auto-ON headlights that do the same thing, but do it better?

Ford now owns a company who had lights that would do that back in 1986. If
you left the lights on all the time they came on with the switch, went off
when cranking and back on once the switch returned to the run position, turn
the car off and everything went dark till next time. I'll give you a hint,
it was a company known for safety (legit) and bad drivers (not always
true:-)
