Details

What's wrong: These vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of fmvss no. 108, "lamps, reflective devices, and associated equipment." The daytime running lights built with a candela value greater than 3,000 cannot be mounted higher than 864mm above the road surface.

Why it matters: These vehicles do not comply with requirements of fmvss no. 108.

The fix: Dealers will install a revised wiring harness that changes the drl's from high beam to low beam drl's, and install new long-life low beam bulbs.
