[DML] Daytime Running Lights

[tobyp@xxxxxxxxxxxx]

Hello List - Most people are aware of all of the studies that have 
shown much higher margins of safety when using some form of daytime 
running lights, such as the regular headlights, or aftermarket 
driving or fog lights.  This becomes especially important when you 
consider that brushed stainless steel has a unique property where it 
tends to take on (and blend in with) the color of its surroundings.  
In the Northwest, this is a very real problem about 7 months out of 
the year (usually - this year has been awesome!)  In any event, one 
of the downsides to using the headlights in the DeLorean is that this 
adds a lot of wear and tear to the headlight main switch, and the 
electrical system in general.

We have just added a solid-state daytime running light module to our 
website (K3000DP) that provides automatic operations with some key 
features:  30% power level to the headlights to provide visibility 
without big power drain and with longer bulb life, 30 second delay 
after engine start to reduce power starvation during engine start, 
automatic disengagement when the normal park lights or headlights are 
turned on, and it uses an independent power source so that the main 
switch is not involved in the operation of the daytime running 
lights.  I have prepared specific instructions for installation in 
the DeLorean.  I just wanted to make everyone aware of this important 
safety-related addition to the DeLorean.  Thanks.
