That was a problem on the Subaru Legacy as well. Disabling the DRLs seemed to be the first thing everyone recommended doing when a new member joined. It'll be interesting to see when people's lights start burning out.

This is usually due to insufficient voltage at the light. Halogen and other high temp incandescent bulbs are designed for the filament to vaporize and redeposit, if the voltage isn't high enough, that process doesn't work.

It's easy to check with a voltmeter, and if the voltage drop is 2V or more, the solution is to direct wire them to the battery through a relay activated by the current switch wire.

I've been a fan of the PIAA hyper white bulbs
