I though that DLR ran on reduced power. They use the highbeam & at full power they'd be quite annoying to other drivers on the road.

thats correct Chuck, however after the bc1 replacement they are even dimmer than before. thought maybe the some kind of change in internal circuit of bc1 reduced voltage more for some reason?
regards, Jeff

Jeff it looks like you'll have to have the techs look at your car again. Seems to me that the DRL's should be the same after the fix. Hopefully it's just a reprogram job.
