Re: 2005 Pilot headlights
While I agree with the idea of DRLs, I can cite two very good reasons
against them. 1: The Pilot's headlights turn off when the car is turned off and the key removed. So just leave the lights on and you have DRLs (Its what I do on my '04 Pilot and both Saabs we own). 2: If you are at all involved with Astronomy, you know that you should never have white light while at a dark sky site or star party. When I go out to observe and if I want to leave before dawn, I would piss off a lot of people if my headlights came on when I started my car. I could potentially ruin a lot of people's hours long images, as well as their night vision. So we use red lights to see by. And we leave either with no lights or parking lights only.

Anyway, in the USA our roads are enough different that DRLs are not really a benefit much of the time. Many people spend most of their time on freeways. What we call freeways are divided, limited access roads with no intersections or driveways. DRLs just don't contribute anything to that. A few of us use highways, the type of roads that I believe are called freeways up there. These are single strips of pavement that accommodate traffic both directions, at speeds around 100 kph, with intersections, side roads and driveways. The long-standing practice has been to drive on those with lights on day and night - my parents explained that to me around 1960. Mike |

Regular headlamps should not remain on when turned off during the day. If they do, there is likely a problem with the daylight sensor located on top of the dash near the windshield. It could also be a switch malfunction or wiring somewhere. Difficult to diagnose by yourself and could be expensive to fix. This should not be happening on a 2005 Honda. |
