Description of the problem | I recently purchased a new hyundai elantra gls. One of the features on the sticker claims that there are daytime running lights. The switch that turns on/off the headlights is also the "drl off/on" switch. I contacted hyundai via email and they refer me to the owners manual. In the state of georgia its illegal to drive with the parking lights on during the day (unless it's raining or visibility is hundred. I believe it may be illegal in other states also. These are not daytime running lights. The sticker on the car may claim it has daytime running lights, but its miss leading and it seems as a lie. |
