When making turns the doors automatically unlock and cabin lights come on as soon as you start driving straight again door lock and lights go off. *tr
The daylight running lights on the 2008-2010 honda accord are very bright and the signal lights are relatively dim and directly inboard of the running lights making the signal lights extremely difficult to see. the daylight running lights mask the signal light. as the daylight running lights are always on, the danger is any time during daylight hours. no fix has been offered by honda. permanently disabling the daylight running lights on this automobile is the only sensible answer to this problem. *tr
The high beam drls on the honda accord are masking the inboard turn signals. while approaching a left turn i was unable to discern whether an oncoming accord had its turn signals activated until very late in making my maneuver. because nhtsa has determined that drls are of no benefit to overall safety, it should require honda to deactivate the high beam drls on all accord models of the current generation. *tr
I have had a hard time seeing some of the newer model cars at dusk dawn and night. it seems that some of the newer models have daytime running lamps that consist only of head lights which the drivers mistaken for have all their lights on. so a car may have headlamps but no tail lamps. i do approve of drl's ( i turn on my lights at all times) but they should include tail lamps. i believe this new setup is more dangerous than helpful. *tr
