come stay with me for a few days then I'll be able to show you what I define as low visibility, as trying to describe it over a forum is not the easiest thing to do.

LOL. I've just started another thread called 'parking - its not rocket science', there is a pic in that, would you define that as low visability? It does look lighter in the pic as to what it is here at the mo though.

that is excellent visibility... if you think otherwise then Im not driving in East Anglia!

lol. I blame it on the fact that its a close up, I should have taken a pic from one end of the high street to the other, seems this DRL poll has turned against me and Stilio.
Ah well, you win some, you lose some. It passes the time of day atleast until I go back to college
My display pic is what I'd determin at excellent visability!

I should explain, Im a train driver and have to drive at 100mph in zero visibility sometimes... so my conception of visibilty is different to yours I expect And yes we go where the tracks take us, but still have to find speed restrictions, sations and signal using our nose and experience.

tOOOOOOO FUNNNNYYYY HAHAHAHAHHAHHAHAAHAH
I forgot my usual side-point in such arguments by the way. I'm not talking about visibility around town or where there is street lighting. I'm talking about being able to see a car the same colour as the road perhaps up to a mile away in dull conditions and knowing whether it's safe to overtake (a line of cars where there's no chance of pulling in anywhere in said line if there does happen to be an oncoming car) or pull out of a junction. You would be amazed at the difference even sidelights make to this, they are clearly visible at such distances. OK there are some blind gits round here who can't judge or pull out regardless but I have good eyesight and can't judge in the above conditions!

Yet you would still put your lights on
Hell yes!
Well, not any more, just my LED DRL's.

I know its been a while since this tread was active, but just thought I'd say that I've read in Auto Express that DRL's that can't be switched off like the new 500, will be standard on all new cars sold in UK from 2011/2012.
I saw one the otherday...I assumed he had an electrical fault cos he had what looked like fogs on with no sides or rear lights...
OP
OP
Some DRL's run without rear lights, like mine, its how I fitted them as I've been told its legal when I found out, but typically DRLs are within the headlight unit, or mounted around the headlight unit if aftermarket like mine.
Were the ones you saw low in the bumper, where fogs are normally fitted?
