Daytime Running Lights
Discussion
Following on from Araantonak's thread in the Ferrari Classics section, we now have to have daytime running lights (or headlights) on during the day. Exceptions are cars registered before 1970. Seems ridiculous to me- so many cars with lovely streamlined looks and pop up headlights (mmm! lovely) will potentially be adorned with chavvy, blinding LEDs. Doesn't seem to be too many "elegant" solutions for older cars; I also wonder if modified sidelights, foglights etc. would fall foul of the MFK.
Oh, and good luck to the Police handing out 40 CHF fines everywhere. Very easy to forget to switch your lights on in the daytime if you aren't driving a thoroughly modern car. t

ts.I think weäre all thinking along similar lines here! I have been thinking about this on my journeies to work in the morning, being blinded by the Frenchies with their ill fitting, retina burning DRLs.
^My favourite solution at this point in time would be to fit brighter bulbs to replace the side lights. I donät think you notice how bright or not they are in the daytime, I don't believe there is much legislation around sidelights either (I may be wrong). Come the MFK, I^d be replacing the sidelight bulbs to be sure.
One issue you have would be remembering to switch off your lights- no warning buzzers in the classics!
As MogulBoz sazs, zou would be far more likely to be fined for having no lights on, versus some visible light. How would they test the brightness accurately in the daytime?
