Well are we? I keep hearing people mention daytime running lamps but i know i dont have them. so i was just curious.

 

Some models have it. Some dont. I believe the sss package doesnt due to hids. And non sss 2011 for sure dont have them as i dont. Not sure what they decided on the 12s

 

I have a 2011 and do have both HIDs from the Touring Package and Daytime Running Lights.

 

well that just goes to show that its even harder to follow what mitsubishi is doing about DRL's in ralliarts.

 

I'm a bit shocked to hear the American RA's have them -- I thought they weren't a requirement down there?

In Canada, my 2009 RA has HIDs and DRLs (my DRLs are the halogen lights inboard of the HIDs running on lower wattage).

 

Ive got a 2010 and I also have HIDs and DRLs.

 

DRL's are mandated in Canada so all the RA's should have DRL there. It is not mandated in US yet...

 

Mine came with Halogens and DRLs.

 

My previous 2010 GTS was with halogen and DRL and current 2011 RA has HID and DRL

 

had a 2008 GTS w/ halogens, it had DRLs. Have a 2010 RA w/ HIDs, it has DRLs, but i disabled them by pulling the relay out.

 

Every new car I've seen sold in the US has DRLs. If you have halogens it's the same bulb as the low beam light.

 

Well my 2012 RA which is most certainly new, DOES NOT have drls. which is why i was curious. seems odd that some would and some wouldnt. no HIDs here btw

 

My 2009 Ralliart HAD DRLs, but I bought the Jrox DRL Disable Harness on Ebay, and now they are turned off for good. I didn't know you could just pull out a stinking relay and be done with it though!!!

 

You can do what i did if you have OEM HID's on your car. The DRLs in that situation are the high beams on other cars. Opening the fuse box under the hood has a relay clearly label as being for the DRLs.

 

Same here man. Brand spanking new (2011) in dec from the dealer and no drls w halogens...
