Fog Lamps and headlights

[tkomljan@mobility.com (Komljanec, Tony)]

In Canada, we have daytime running lights... the headlights stay on (Audi 
uses low beam) if the car is running,  with a diode voltage drop (0.7V) less 
going to them, than when they are turned on by the driver.

Trouble is that most other cars, especially domestic, have all figured out 
that when you run the engine with the parking brake on, you are in a 
drive-in theatre trying to stay warm..... Audi hasn't allowed for this, much 
to the annoyance of other movie goers and the bright white screen (what is 
worse, is people who have this feature and DON'T USE IT... arghhh).... 
rewiring suggestions welcome!

Just to balance things...  GM also isn't the smartest....  HIGH BEAM daytime 
driving lights that are dangerous at night when the driver likes to drive 
around without illuminating their dashboard! (ie. Geez, Martha, why is 
everyone flashing me and giving me the finger?  They must be jealous about 
my brand new Jimmy)
