After my second pull-off nap on the way home I started the engine, the day time running lights kicked on and I didn't notice that the lights on the radio and heater controls weren't on. That would be the tired drivers clue that the tail lights weren't on. I signed off on the citations corrective action block after I had down loaded the DIY on disabling the daytime running lights and had pulled the connector plug off of the relay inside the dash.
Now when its dark enough to see headlights I have to turn on the lights. No head/lights and/or tail lights on is the LEO's most often probable cause for a DUI check. Luckily all my paper work and permits were in order. Moderator, please bump and/or sticky.

So...you disabled a safety feature for safety reasons (because you're forgetful).
Are DRL's not mandated in AZ? They are here in Canada, and have been since the 80's.
