MrMexs007: Yet still some guys turn on so they will join the group of persons with cars equipped with day time running light. You see such folks with brake lights on as well, meaning the headlights were turned on, on purpose. Cause with cars equipped with day time running light you dont see the brake lights go on when the car engine is running.

obinna 222: Bros,

Those lights are not for fancy, they are part of the safety features that cars must have.

For instance, in the United Kingdom, it has become a mandatory safety feature for all cars.

i suggest you do more research to understand further.

azpekuliar: This has for long puzzled me. Why do motorists in Lagos drive around with their head lamps on. And I mean regular motorists, not a VIP convoy. I can understand if its done on a hazy day, rainy day but in clear day light and with perfect driving conditions . Or could it be an attempt to show off their vehicles, because a vast majority of the vehicles range form mid-budget to top of the range vehicles, but evn then very few of them have Xenon High Intensity Discharge Head Lamps which I saw on a Ducati this morning and was awed. Even jalopies on Lagos roads are part of this trend. Should this one be added to the list of the motoring cultures peculiar to us as Lagosians/Nigerians or this also obtains abroad?

9-zeros:
in lagos, everytin needs to 'shine eye'....includin cars!

onye ego: American specs my foot!
This is Nigeria!
This is why we hv refused to make progress.
What is d RELIVANCE of driving with ur lights on with d kind of wether we have here?
It makes no sense having ur lights on in broad day light!

Wether you agree or not; most people do it to show off.

warrior101:

In 2010 I bought a chevvy in malasia and there was nothing like that. When i came to 9ja last year i observed what the OP is talking, when i asked why they will say na american spec. I think its show off...

Mayflowa:

Why would you buy a chevvy in Maley? Foreign cars are damn expensive there!

ndidibabe: See your mouth like show off. What explanation do you need again? You do not want people to buy American spec cars again? I have a car of such spec and the light is always on. That is the design. Please stop showing your ignorance here.

190: I hate 2 say dis but I'm part of d trend dat switch lites on durin d day

I'm just used 2 it

Its called effizin

Or I don arrive

ANTITRIBALISM: It's because the government has covered the country with darkness and people are struggling to move with headlamps in broad-day light.

onye ego: I still insist; until d reserch is carried out here in Nigeria, and d benefits are proven;it remains a SHOWOFF

Afterall, this will not be d first Oyibo invention that is completly USELESS to us here in Nigeria.

e.g, standing at d door of a Naija babe with a flower bouquet in ur hands
