Re.

Re. The savings from DRL's off............. Oh, I agree it's not much. I was only speculating as to why someone might want them off. I know lots of folks these days who are absolutely fanatical about making inconsequential energy savings. They do it out of idealistic fervor rather than from any practical consideration.

Hi Jack,
Glad you find the posts I write useful! Thanks :-)
Just to make sure I did not understand you, were you asking strictly about the head/running/daytime lights or ALL of the lighting in the car (includes the aforementioned and adds all interior lights)?
If it was ALL lights, no, there is no way to prevent them from turning on or turning them all off that I know of. The interior lights are suppose to be on a 20 minute delay. I have not tested.
There were some posts about the interior lights and people wondered if they really did shut off. I think one person came to the conclusion that if you
manually turn on the map lights, they will stay on. That one I don't want to test
.
If you speak about the head/running/daytime lights then if you place it in DRL OFF all will be off as far as all of my tests.
But, much agreed that some hard evidence to answer this question would be good.
