I got the Procal to adjust for my tire size, but since it had the DRL option I took advantage of it. I have mine set foe the indicators/ parking lights to come on as DRL's. The upside, I always have lights on, the downside, by setting these lights as DRL's the green indicator lights in my instrument column stay on too until I turn the lights on. I might have to change to fogs or low beams instead. As for the low of high beams being too dim, it is important to remember that the purpose of DRL's are to help people see you, not for you to see the road. It doesn't take much light to be more visible while driving. Just my $.02. FYI, I have a 6 speed and the DRL's come on after e-brake is off.

Ahahah! The parking brake kills the DRL? AND here I''ve been thinking something was wrong with my procal as I've been putting the Jeep in drive with the lights off, pulling the e-brake and getting out to look and see if they were working and nothing would be on

The dealer I went to couldn't do it because the Dealer Connect service wouldn't allow it.

I live in Canada , Ontario infact and it's manditory here so to still comply with the mto rules I got the procal and changed my day time runners to the signal lights on the front so I could run my hid's without the headlights running at 1/2 power which those lights don't like
The procal was also able to let me change my tire size amongst many other things so it was worth the money for me
Another bonus is that the signal lights are cheaper to replace than a set of headlight H13 bulbs if you end up burning them out sooner

being able to turn the DRL function on is cool, but as a motorcylce owner it is frustrating. Since so many cars have the lights, people just ignore them. A few years ago, our headlights being on during the day for a motorcycle was a huge advantage in being seen during the day, but the DRL have sort of minimized this. Enjoy your cool DRL's and watch out for Jeep owners on their motorcycles.
