    when do you use your headlights?

    just curious how often everybody uses their headlights.. i use mine every time i get in the car regardless of time of day, ive seen many cars only by their headlights during the day in bright sun, so i always use mine.. just curious how everyone else uses theirs?

    I only use mine when it's dark ... but I never use my parking brake either so I'm prolly not 'normal'.

    I voted "Night and During bad weather" but since the VX's interior is so dark, I often put my parking lights on by late afternoon...

    I converted mine to HID's along with the Hella Micro DE that replaced the 'fog' light. I run the hella's when ever the engine is running, so I guess the answer is, day and night, but not the headlights unless weather is bad, then both and no, I don't get flashed cause I have them aimed correctly.

    Of special note-- vehicles that are painted shades of Silver; Gray; Beige; Brown, Forest Green are very difficult to see as they often blend in with their surroundings and/or blend in with concrete/asphalt. Owner's with these colored cars should always have their headlights on.

    I always run my headlights both day-n-night. During the daytime-- I run my headlights on "high-beam" (poor man's Daytime Running Lights). During the nighttime-- with oncoming traffic, I run my headlights on normal "low-beam" (of course).

    same for me...i converted my fogs to piaa driving lights and those are on any time my motor is on...and the headlights only come when i can no longer see the sun because they are HID.

    If you are running high performance halogene like us, they cost $40 a pair and only last a year, so only in the dark.

    I always have lights on when I'm driving. Most of the time its just the 'driving' lights. And since I switched the driving lights to LEDs, they really have a 'pop' to them and its hard to miss it.

    Since my daily commute is from home garage to parking garage at work, I usually keep my headlights on all the time during my commute. Around town, I turn them on early dawn or late dusk, and when the weather turns bad (it's the law in Virginia, and I never break the law! ).

    no, he's talking about just replacing the factory bulb on the 'fog' lights below the head lights....no balast or anything...just unplug the crappy factory ones and plug in some LED ones...
