Well, I concluded that the dealer could do it. I meant that _I_
could not do it.

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 **** 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.

Not the dreaded DRL thread again! 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.

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.
