Mat, I too like to drive with my lights on and was pleasantly surprised to find in place the system that you have described in your post. I just leave my side lights on all the time, safe in the knowledge that once the engine is shut down, the power to the lights is cut.8342mat said:Done to death on another Antara forum.
Many discussions on how they aren't really DRL's on the SE model.
Various aftermarket options offered.
Even visiting the dealers to have them switched off.
Having the Exclusiv I don't have DRL's but do like to have my lights on, especially when towing.
By accident I have just found out that if I leave my headlights on, and turn the engine off, the lights go out, so as not to flatten the battery.
Wondered why I have never heard a lights on chime.
Soon as I start up again the headlights come back on.
So there you have it poor mans DRL's.![]()

Oh and yes you can override it should you want your headlights on whilst the engine is off.
Just turn them off and on again.
I suppose this is a form of DRL's but not really as I anticipated when I first told that the AWD Antara Exclusiv came with DRL's as standard.
