[Vwdiesel] Jetta E Code/DRL Debates

[Shawn Wright]

As I've stated, I like DRLs also, but haven't driven a car with them since my '90
Corrado. I have *always* driven with my headlights on, and I average at least 2-3
years on a stock 9004 bulb in my '85 Jetta. At $5 /bulb I don't find this a problem, and
since it's usually only the low or high filament that fails, I keep the old bulbs for
emergency spares...
