    My US truck was modified to meet the Canadian driving lights law. The headlights stay on even when the key is turned off and switch is in the off position. The only way to turn them off is to open the driver's door. This has led to my battery dying several times when I don't exit the truck right away. Any ideas on how to get rid of this and return it to normal headlight operation?

    Turn the headlights off before you turn the key off.

    Covered in stickers and chrome stick-ons for extra horse torques and foot powers. Icon sticker gets me tons of travel, dozens of milimeters.
    How long you sitting in the truck for?? I've left my truck with the radio running while doing under-hood shit for loooong time and it still starts right up.

    Do you guys just leave your lights on? I don't understand what's going on here.

    I didn't realize the northern lights were just those silly bastards leaving their headlights on all night.

    Look for a DRL module/harness under the hood, should be connected to one of your headlights harnesses...you’ll be able to tell no problem, most shops half ass on it in anyways.
