When my DRLs are on (which is all the time when ignition on) because the DRL power is taken from the 10 amp Radio feed side of fuse box
my Dash Lights are NOT on. So no issues of false sense of security in fog. Dash lights only come on when lights are selected using light switch stalk.


Yes, I imagine with retrofit that would be the case, particularly with power from the radio fuse. And you're a Morgan owner and therefore a real driver. I've not owned a car modern enough for OEM DLRs, and merely observed others. I make the point of dash being lit because i am generous enough to presume that whilst driving in fog, everyone would note, no dash lights ergo no headlights? I did remark to a driver who pulled into the same petrol station, and they said they had no idea their rear lights were not lit when their dash was lit, although knowing they hadnt put their lights on. Presumably they dont know about fog? I recall the old TV advertising, around the same time as clunk click and green cross code; but these days a buzzer tells you to belt up, and most cars have auto rain sensors for wipers and auto ark sensors for lights, so there's not much call for proper driving I guess! I dont suppose it'll matter soon, with driverless cars on the way for all....
I have replaced all bulbs lit whilst ignition off/lights left on, with LED units, so Im happy to switch side lights on all the time whilst driving, happy in the knowledge that if I do forget to switch off, at least the battery wont drain in an hour!
As befits only a Morgan, my dash lights are on a rather poor quality dimmer switch beneath the facia, and can be off or on, with or without running lights!
