IIRC they should still work. They are fed through the resistor for the DRL only. When you put the headlights on it bypasses the resistor.

Thanks Jim, I normally have the DRL resistor fuse pulled until winter time. And that is what I meant in earlier post. Put the DRL resistor FUSE back in.

Your Welcome Robin. Winter there is summer here!! You should be able to reinstall or keep the fuse out with the same results.

For 75% of AZ that is right. But AZ also has some beautiful forests.

Good to know on the DRL resistor. Here's a dumb question: Why the resistor? I just stuck a piece of tape over my auto-lights sensor and I now have DRLs. LOL Why dim them down in the daytime? It's not like they're bright when the sun's shining...

I actually prefer my lights be on all the time. It was "cooler" when I had my HIDs in -- I stuck the stock bulbs in for my yearly inspection and haven't swapped back yet.

They run the lights at a lower voltage to "conserve" bulb life. Where any lamp is rated at so may hours vs so many volts, the resistor is used to decrease the voltage. IIRC
