I think the real problem with DRL's as put into action by GM is that they install CHEAP lights with crappy lenses. As a result, the lights cannot be aimed so that the light output is kept out of oncoming drivers' eyeline. Result: irritation. The same is true of the so-called "driving" lights bought and installed by many drivers. Most of the folks buying them don't know the difference between a fog and driving light, the lens patterns used in each, and how to mount them in order to use them as designed. Of course, this really doesn't matter much since most people never aim them anyway! Purpose-designed fog lights, mounted correctly and aimed, should not bother oncoming drivers. DRIVING lights in the same circumstance will probably fry the retinas of oncoming drivers. Cheap crappy lights are actually pretty democratic: they bother everyone under ALL circumstances! BTW - just finished replacing the brake fluid in the 1990 200 using an Eazibleed unit. Took about an hour (first time in use) and worked very nicely. Required about 1 quart of Castrol LMA brake fluid to flush the entire system. I would recommend the Eazibleed unit to those who are contemplating brake fluid replacement. I will also be using it on my other cars soon... +................................................+ Al Powell, PhD Ph: 409/845-2807 Ag Communications Fax: 409/862-1202 Texas A&M University http://agcomwww.tamu.edu/agcom/satellit/alpage.htm +................................................+
