I put a foam ring around the switch and put it on door handle so I am reminded to switch off when getting out.

Agree regarding the main dealer service aspect Bungo, but doubt I'll use a main dealer for this car as it's history isn't fVsh – if it was I might've maintained it.
Good solution to avoid forgetting the lights on exit!

also, thats the main reason why installing HID ballast and running it on 60% PWM can cause all uplseantness (hence all this DRL=OFF before you go HID , posts). |
OK, good to know LOB. At night I've just left the lights in the '0' position: I'll try it on the other setting and see if I can tell any difference as in theory it should bump up another 30% which
should be noticeable.
