OK, let me answer that with a quote from the great prophets Rogers &
Hammerstein:
"Who can explain it? Who can tell you why?
Fools give you reasons; wise men never try.
Some en-CHANTED evening...."
Oops. Doesn't make much sense, right? Pretty much the way I feel about
DRL's and the ever-popular CHMSL (Center High Mount Stop Lamps).
And about the latter: I had to laugh earlier today as I followed a newish
Chevy Van -- one of those with the taillamps assemblies way up on the
roof pillars. The "CHMSL" was actually LOWER than the "main" brake lamps.
Go figure....
