Daylight Running Lights

I was given a warning (after pulling the fuse out) when I got my Wof this morning. The electronic circuit I have controlling my DRLs halves the light output when the headlights are turned on.

Cracked Dash Repair

Cool. I read this to my wife. Hopefully she might get more excited and paint our Mx while I'm at work. In her defence she did sand down and restain the handbrake lever and is planning to do the steering wheel (the outside is mine)
