fuddyduddy: It doesnt have a lamp monitor, so I don't know.
Roadrash: It was before the DRL was disabled. It would happen on really cold winter days when the car was starting. If the manufacturer says dont use it with DRL, then I'd listen to what they say. Mine said nothing about any problems with it.

Well.. i think the DRL is a resistor that does drop the voltage to your headlights and so I think that maybe why one of them don't turn on in winter? I thought yours would have the headlight sensor like mine would.. if you have a lil car ( Drivers information thingie ) you should have it since mine will ding and show headlight problems in my 97 when I activate the headlight kill switch.

Hailey: A standard Halogen bulb should last about 3 yrs if your headlights are on 2 hrs a day. HID'* last 5yrs with the same amount of use.
